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.

Small windmills as applications in public places

See "Windmills planned for New Orleans' riverfront park" from the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "Utility poles offer small-scale wind power" from the Boston Globe, and this New York Times podcast, "Blowin’ in the Wind - City Room Blog."

(I saw a wind energy farm along the Pennsylvania Turnpike last week, but I was unable to take a photo.)
