Your Town--Designing Its Future (Project)

Delta State University (Cleveland, Miss.). Center for Community Development

Describes the impact of design and heritage tourism on rural community development. Since the late 1990s, the National Endowment for the Arts, under the direction of Mark Robbins, has been promoting design excellence through an ambitious series of symposia, best-case design studies, and prototype projects. The results of these programs are now documented in a new series of publications, each focusing on design in the public realm and the potential for innovative architecture, landscape architecture, and planning.
