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.

Bike corral on Thomas Jefferson Street NW in Georgetown. Providing this kind of parking in commercial districts, on streets perpindicular to the main streets is a good way to add bike parking without adding to congestion on narrow sidewalks.
