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.

PG County "Envisioning" process

1. Remember that people in Prince George's County don't like it when you refer to the County as PG...

2. They have a visioning process going on now. See "Residents lend a hand in planning the future of Prince George's" from the Gazette. (It's similar to the Growth Policy process in Montgomery County.)

3. Interestingly (and worth going to just to observe), one of the sessions is just for youth. Forums still to be held are scheduled for Dec. 1 in Oxon Hill and Dec. 3 in Landover. A youth forum will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 5 in College Park.

4. Residents interested in participating should visit the website, Envision Prince George's or call 301-952-3594.

5. From the website, which includes a blog and a comment section for residents and stakeholders:

Envision Prince George’s is a call to action to develop and implement a vision for our county with a vibrant economy and high quality of life for all. Envision Prince George’s will mobilize and empower county stakeholders to be directly involved in creating their future as the County continues to grow and prosper over the next two decades and beyond. Through a series of community forums and other activities, Prince Georgians will develop a shared vision for the county and take action to make that commitment real. To review our in-depth guide to the Opportunities and Challenges facing the County, please download the Envision Participant Guide.
