The Dirt

I stole the title of this post, but I wanted to show you all a cool article I got from thedirt.asla.org

It's about an eco-district, and I thought since I said how little I actually knew about eco-villages in my previous post I would post this.

This is a plan for our nations capital, Washington D.C.  This area in the southwest part of the city is apparently not a place people want to be and with a city of so many communters coming into to work I think it is great that they are revitolizing a section so that people will fight to live in this fast paced political hub.  It will promote walkability which from what I hear about D.C. traffic is HUGE! and it will set a national example of how other cities can refresh, and give a complete new and better purpose to an urban space.

I will be looking to know more about the progress of this project in the future and to see if it inspires other rundown parts of cities to make the change.
