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.

WMATA and safety

Since I have been so harsh for the past year+ on WMATA and their systems failures and culture failures with regard to safety, it's only fair to mention that interim general manager Richard Sarles had a very nice op ed in the Post a week ago about the steps he's taking in terms of leading the necessary changes forward. See "Changing the safety culture at Metro."
