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.

Dueling marketing campaigns concerning energy

The American Public Transportation Association has taken all the advertising spots available in the Union Station and Capitol South Metro Stations to promote the value of transit. It's an important thing to do, considering that the House of Representatives' transportation bill cuts out requirements for funding transit (and biking and walking).

This was on the back of a WMATA bus at Fort Totten. Of course there are far more motor vehicle operators than transit riders, but both are energy users.
