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.

Volunteer for National Public Lands Day, Sept. 26

From the AP story:

Some 130,000 volunteers are expected to spend National Public Lands Day, September 26th, working in parks, beaches and wildlife reserves to build trails, remove garbage and pull up invasive plants.

Many locations are also offering crafts, kid's activities, barbecues and campouts.

The event is a program of the National Environmental Education Foundation.
