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.

Walking Town DC: This Saturday and Sunday

In September and April, CulturalTourismDC sponsors WalkingTownDC, an open house of sorts featuring tours around the city. This month, it's on Saturday September 20th and Sunday September 21st.

I am doing two tours, on the Florida Market and H Street Alleys. Note that the tours I do are as much about planning policy and urban sociology as they are about strict "history."

Greater Greater Washington produces a very usable "visible schedule." See the entry: Fall WalkingTown DC visual schedule.
