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 City of Roseville and Placer County agreed to a tax sharing deal, in return Roseville will annex 4,700 acres (about 7.5 square miles) and allow most of the land to be developed. See "Roseville, Placer County reach tax-sharing deal that clears way for massive growth" from the Sacramento Bee.
