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.

Green Festival is today (and was yesterday) in DC

Green Festival

At the convention center. There are many local omissions (no WMATA, no WABA, no DDOT, no other area sustainable transportation or planning organizations) but you are still likely to find something of interest, plus seminars. Anacostia Watershed Society is one of the only local organizations exhibiting.

BicycleSpace
, the new bike shop downtown, has a booth, and I have a couple display boards at a corner, promoting BicyclePASS, the "bicycle facilities systems integration" outfit that I am a partner in. Haven't made tons of contacts, but have had some very good ones that could lead to some great opportunities.
