Many people leave the city and head for the suburbs once they have children. I did the opposite.

PSA: many of us in the Trolley District live in unreinforced masonry structures, which are vulnerable in the event of an earthquake. We also happen to live in a major seismic zone. Here is some useful information about possible retrofits you can make to your home or commercial building!

"ReUrbanism positions preservation in the larger context of human needs. We know preservation is an element in livable, vibrant, equitable, and creative communities. Preservation provides character and identity, contributes to sustainability and walkability, fosters a sound economy, spurs creativity, and gives people the psychological and sociological sense of stability they need in an ever-changing world. Yet, while the preservation of our older and historic places is critically important to a community, it is only one part of the various elements that make a community livable and vibrant. Through ReUrbanism, preservation seeks to work in tandem with and support the many other fields that contribute to livable and vibrant communities, including planning, natural conservation, economic development, health and welfare, social justice, and sustainability."

Using new research, data, tools, and strategies, The National Trust's commitment to the reuse, reinvestment, and revitalization of cities—which we describe as ReUrbanism—seeks nothing less than to transform both the perception and practice of preservation, responding to the issues cities face today.
