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.

Friday is UN-Habitat's World Cities Day

Friday is the UN-Habitat's World Cities Day and Guardian Cities is hosting the World Cities Day Challenge, which will showcase 36 cities around the world and their best ideas.

From Guardian Cities:
We really want the whole day to be as interactive as possible, with heaps of discussion about how urban initiatives from some cities could inspire others – and in general how we can collaboratively build a better urban future. We're encouraging people to cheer on their city or grill the participants about the projects and initiatives they're representing.

We'll be covering the whole day on @guardiancities and the day's hashtag is #CitiesDay.
