Janice Woodcock: Interim zoning no small task
Aug. 1
DAG SPACE – NEW WEBSITE FEATURE:
To advance DAG’s goal of promoting good design by encouraging thoughtful public discussion of design matters, DAG is initiating a monthly opinion piece. The first in the series is Interim Zoning No Small Task by Janice Woodcock, AIA, AICP. Ms. Woodcock, a member of DAG, is an architect and urban planner in Philadelphia who served as Executive Director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission under Mayor John F. Street. DAG SPACE articles are the opinions of their authors. While DAG hopes they will contribute to constructive public dialogue, the articles do not represent the opinion or position of the Design Advocacy Group.
