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.

Save Shoreditch

Is a citizens campaign in London opposed to a proposal to build a variety of high density skyscrapers abutting conservation areas. I can't claim to know anything about the setting, having (alas) never been to London.

I like how especially clear and direct they are with the first three tabs on the site:

- the threat
- who we are
- who they are
