I am proposing that memory is not merely a resource pool of ideas; it has material and sensory coordinates that are part of the living membrane of a city. Memory can be found in the emotional connection to particular spaces that have their own biographies and carry biographies within them; memory can be found embedded and miniaturized in objects that trigger deep emotions and narratives; memory is linked to sounds, aroma, sights.
The first land area in Cleveland to be considered for "garden zoning" -- a new zoning designation developed by the city to protect greenspace and urban gardens in the City -- will be discussed. Show your support by attending public hearings for the Cleveland City Council.
This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
