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.

There isn't a trash can at the bus stop at 700 East and 2100 South, but there is a City Weekly box, and people deposit trash in it

 

Not unlike how kids play on elements in the public environment that aren't designed as play spaces, but they use them because there aren't alternatives, this City Weekly newspaper box is used for trash disposal at a busy intersection with a bus stop with no trash can (nor a shade screen, despite Utah's brutally hot summers).


(Apologize as it's not the best photo.  I forgot to check for resolution after I took it.)
