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.

3 new reports from the Project for Public Spaces

(Done in conjunction with the American Association of Retired Persons, which next year I will be able to join...)
Streets as Places report, Project for Public Spaces
-- A Citizen’s Guide to Better Streets: How to Engage Your Transportation Agency

-- Streets as Places: Using Streets to Rebuild Communities

-- The Quiet Revolution in Transportation Planning: How Great Corridors Make Great Communities

I haven't read any of them yet, but I am sure they will be useful. PPS has initiated a transportation practice, and has a workshop on "streets as places." The next workshop is next week in fact.
