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.

So simple a Georgetown University student understands it...

I really hate the Geico commercials with the caveman, but that theme is relevant when considering this opinion piece from the Georgetown University Hoya newspaper, "Higher Gas Prices Mean a Return to High Rises." The student, like Paris Hilton, seems to have a better grasp of the transportation and land use implications of higher priced oil than many of the people running for office in our political system.
