Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

More on parks "best practices"

Yesterday, a local ANC commissioner sent an email to a neighborhood list, seeking the use of borrowed lawn mowers, to tend to the local neighborhood park (Kingman) which is under the jurisdiction of the DC Department of Parks and Recreation.

Meanwhile, USA Today has a story, "State parks blaze trails for wireless Internet service," with a chart listing all the states (technically DC is not a state), that provide (or do not) wi-fi services in their parks.

There are lots of ways to do best practices.
