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.

A surprise for tomorrow's alley tour

The normal co-leader of the Capitol Hill west alley tour won't be able to participate tomorrow due to unexpected work demands. Ably stepping into his place will be Dr. John Vlach, Professor of American Studies and Anthropology at The George Washington University and Director of the university's Folklife Program, and currently historian on the DC Historic Preservation Review Board.

See his publication, "Capitol Hill Before L'Enfant" (2003).
