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.

Winter heating bills got you down?

We all want to make our houses more comfortable and efficient. Green technologies offer opportunities to save money while helping to protect our environment and can be implemented without sacrificing the architectural integrity of your home or violating historic district guidelines.

Come learn about energy audits and what home improvements are the most cost effective with particular attention to the issue of window repair, replacement and integrity.

Speakers are Pascale Maslin, the founder of Energy Efficient Experts, an energy audit firm specializing in reducing energy costs while making environmentalism accessible, and John Sandor, an architectural historian and expert in the repair and replacement of windows in historic buildings.

FREE to Historic Mount Pleasant and DC Preservation League Members. $10 to Non-Members.

Light breakfast included.
