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.

Use photos like these to illustrate Georgetown, transit and excitement. (For people interested in thinking about these kinds of issues, see the discussion on "Community Branding, Image Development and Advertising" starting on page 35 in the commercial district revitalization framework report I helped produce for Cambridge Maryland.)
