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.

Walkscore and the Boston Globe

The Boston Globe has a nice feature on Boston's walking environment, in Starts & Stops: Feet give the best, cheapest mileage," and mention the Walkscore as well as how it ranked Boston third in the country for the number of walkable neighborhoods.

I think an interesting Sunday Dr. Gridlock feature in the Post would be on Walkscores comparing the municipalities/counties in the region, as well as different types of neighborhoods in DC.
