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.

MIT student/Cambridge homeowner runs for City Council on a quality of life ticket

Although interestingly, while promoting a wide variety of good ideas (inclusion of Cambridge in Boston's upcoming bicycle sharing program, expanding transit information, etc.) he does call for more parking, even as he favors speed and red light camera ticketing programs, as a speeding driver running a red light hit and killed a neighbor's child.

See his website: Leland Cheung for City Council and this article from the MIT Tech student newspaper, "MIT Graduate Student Runs for City Council, Hopes to Represent Students."
