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.

On September 11, 2012, academics and practitioners will gather at George Washington University to explore Walkable Urban Places and their role in economic development in the D.C. region

The event is cosponsored by the George Washington University Center for Real Estate and Urban Analysis and ULI Washington. At the conference, new research completed this year on Ranking and Economic and Social Equity Performance of Metro DC's Walkable Urban Places will be presented by Christopher B. Leinberger, Professor, George Washington University & President, LOCUS, Responsible Real Estate Developers and Investors. The research study, titled "Walk this Way" establishes metrics to gauge walkable urban places' performance that could guide investment decisions and public policy development.

The conference will, in addition to highlighting the study, also explore the Management and Public Policy elements of walkable urban development, and will include in-depth case studies of three existing and emerging Walkable Urban Places including Clarendon, White Flint and the Capitol Riverfront.
