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.

Streetcars and light rail vehicles can carry more passengers, and are far more appealing to riders with the choice to not use transit, when compared to buses. (In regards to the recent thread on not planning around fixed rail services for the eventual reaching of capacity in the DC area subway system, which is predicted for 2025.)
