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.

Montogmery County Maryland special election

Montgomery County Maryland Council Districts map

Cavan Wilk, a MoCo transit and revitalization advocate, mentions in an entry in Greater Greater Washington, "Hear from the District 4 candidates," the upcoming Montgomery County District 4 candidates' forum.

The Forum, on Tuesday March 31st, intends to "raise voters' awareness on transportation, land use, livable/walkable communities, climate change, habitat protection/restoration, and other key environmental and quality-of-life issues" and is sponsored by the Sierra Club of Montgomery County and the Action Committee for Transit.

See the aforementioned blog entry for details.

Since DC abuts Montgomery County Council Districts 1 (Bethesda) and 5 (Silver Spring), not to mention the general issue of transit, seeing that there are progressive representatives on the adjoining County Councils (in Prince George's County too) matters greatly.
