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.

One of the many pieces I haven't written is about a set of prescriptions for "branding" your community as supportive of sustainable mobility, with high profile initiatives around the support of walking, biking, and transit.

Imagine urban design treatments like this being implemented at the neighborhood scale.

.. although some cities do much more of this (Seattle especially) than others.
