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.

"You are traffic" campaign

I write from time to time about public communications and marketing campaigns about traffic and traffic safety ("Safe driving: April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month").  Mostly, I find such programs too perfunctory, but there are some outliers, really good approaches and campaigns.


I consider myself fortunate to have lived in a couple places--Ann Arbor and Washington, DC--where it is possible to live in a manner where owning a car isn't required as the dominant land use and transportation planning paradigm in the US is based on automobile-dependence.  (A few other cities--Boston, the core in Chicago and Philadephia, some small cities in New Jersey like Hoboken and Jersey City, etc.--also make it possible to live a sustainable mobility centric lifestyle.)

I only heard about the "You are the traffic" billboards and posters recently (""You’re Not in Traffic, You Are Traffic."," Tree Hugger).
