On Places is what I notice about great places, and how we can make more of them.
It runs on one strength: seeing the patterns in what makes a place work, and connecting a vision for a place to the steps that make it real. Sharpened by the work I do in my hometown of Lodi, California.
Independent writing on placemaking. Less commentary, more about what can actually be done. Free to read, and offered to the community.
