Three new issues are in the works as part of Volume 20. Places 20.1, guest-edited by Garth Rockcastle of the University of Maryland on "Re-Placing," addresses recent predictions that, by 2020, 75 percent of all commissioned design, planning and development will involve reuse of and/or addition to existing structures, communities, and landscapes. How well prepared are the design and planning professions for this dramatic change? Places 20.2, guest-edited by Nancy Rottle, Marina Alberti, and Daniel Friedman of the University of Washington on "Climate Change and Place," asks what defines the character of places, and how can their design respond to the shifting climate? The section will examine the impacts of climate change on diverse dimensions of place, and question the role of design in minimizing the impact of climate change on human and ecological well-being. Places 20.3 will report on projects selected as the 2008 EDRA/Places awards program with Metropolis.
