Scientific paper

This paper is a review of the relationship between the metric formulation of (2+1)-dimensional gravity and the loop observables of Rovelli and Smolin. I emphasize the possibility of reconstructing the geometry, via the theory of geometric structures, from the values of the loop variables. I close with a brief discussion of implications for quantization, particularly for covariant canonical approaches to quantum gravity.
