What If We Built Our Cities Around Places?

Project for Public Spaces [PPS] announces its new Great Cities Initiative, which applies the principles of Placemaking to entire cities.

At PPS, we believe this timeless way of building can be reinvigorated, and we offer a common-sense way to do it: by empowering people to initiate improvements to their local neighborhoods place by place. These small steps to enliven streets, parks, and other public spaces are the building blocks of a thriving city. >Link
