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.

I have never read the full book, Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art by Scott McCloud, but this book is considered pathbreaking in terms of webdesign and hyperlinking. It was all the rage in the mid-1990s...

This report takes that idea to a new level, although the Center for Urban Pedagogy has done some similar kinds of design-policy projects, such as with street vending or the cultural studies book series that explains topics through comics, the "For Beginners" books.
