We bring community-powered public spaces to life through placemaking partnerships, education, and events.
About us
Founded in 1975, Project for Public Spaces has brought some of the most successful public spaces in the world to life. Public spaces are only able to fulfill their potential when the people who use them everyday take part in the process. That’s why we put constructive community participation at the heart of our work. We partner with corporate social responsibility initiatives and foundations to support projects of all scales and budgets—from planning or improving parks, plazas, and public markets to transforming entire districts. Through workshops, trainings, and conferences, we educate and equip people with the tools to lead in their own placemaking efforts worldwide. Our interdisciplinary team has worked on the ground with over 3,500 communities in 52 countries, creating places that serve as the foundation for our society’s health, resilience, and so much more. Together, we can build a world where every public space is community-powered. Learn more at www.pps.org.

Public spaces and other places of social connection in our communities are incredibly important, especially when we are hit by shocks like extreme weather. I had the pleasure of talking to the super smart Dr. Daniel Aldrich last month about the role of social infrastructure in creating more resilient communities. Encourage you to watch the video and read the article. #resilience #communities #socialinfrastructure #publicspaces
Robust social infrastructure can save lives. Here's how, according to Daniel Aldrich: "...If you think about the January 2025 Los Angeles fires or recent events like floods and hurricanes that have hit around the country, our research has shown that if you’re better connected and live in communities with more of these connecting spaces, your outcomes are better, so you as an individual do better. There are more survivors in those (connected) communities, and the recovery process is faster." Read the article and watch the conversation at Reimagining the Civic Commons: https://lnkd.in/eFyu9Tc6.
