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.

The great thing about living in a college town

and DC qualifies, is that for the universities that allow public access to their libraries (CUA, American University, Georgetown), those of us with a scholarly bent can use their journal databases and get access to what are otherwise "obscure" publications such as the Journal of Planning Literature, Urban Studies Journal, Journal of Planning Education and Research, etc.

While these journals may be available at the Library of Congress in hard copy, they can still be difficult to obtain.

It's great.
