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.

Right for Life demonstration and counter protestors in front of the US Supreme Court

While I moved to Washington thirty years ago "to get involved in national policy and do good things" and for a time I worked for a national consumer advocacy group concerned with health policy, for a long time I've been more locally focused than nationally focused, and co-exist without national politics having too much effect on me personally.

I happened upon this yesterday, walking from the Library of Congress to Union Station.  Yesterday was the annual Right to Life march.  Again, it doesn't affect me much normally, except that I was riding the subway rather than biking, and the train cars were more full, with people who blocked the doorwells.

Today is the Women's March ("Why you should join the Women's March," Guardian).
