Let's celebrate #InternationalWomensDay by recognizing their fundamental role in #publicspaces and #placemaking. "Women are at the heart of thriving social places. Their presence indicates that a place is welcoming and comfortable, their activity and social interactions breathe life into it, and their know-how fills places with art, goods, and value. We must therefore create places that women want to be in by?listening to what they need, want, and enjoy." Social Life Project #PublicSpace Where #Women Thrive https://lnkd.in/ej3-mtu4 By Kathy Madden,?Madeley Rodriguez,?Tayana Panova, PhD,?Katherine A. Peinhardt,?Fred Kent

Celebrating 50 years today since Fred Kent founded Project for Public Spaces! Below is the original prospectus that he shared with William H. Whyte, proposing to put his ideas into practice. What was initially a 3-year “project,” become a rolling set of projects overcoming ongoing obstacles to better public spaces. As it was originally mandated, PPS has always been more of a “catalyst” than an opporating organization. And the 30+ PlacemakingX #placemaking networks/organizations we’ve helped to start are similarly nimble, informal, and proactive. May this document continue to guide our collective work over the next 50 years!
Happy 50th Birthday to Project for Public Spaces! ?Although I didn’t join PPS until three years later, I wanted to share a few quotes from “Project for Public Spaces: A Prospectus (1975)."?Looking back, it amazes me how?Fred Kent, Bob Cook, Don Miles, and the other original visionaries had so much right from the get-go... except for the last quote from the document! (In the photo, you can see comments by Holly Whyte in the margins, including, "Raising expectations--what deliver?" Fifty years later, we can answer that question that we raised expectations AND delivered!) “The quality of urban life is unique…[and] largely defined by the city’s open spaces – its streets, sidewalks, parks, playgrounds, plazas, pedestrian malls and even its building lobbies.” “There is enormous potential for improvement in these public spaces through changes that are not necessarily time-consuming or expensive to implement and are often remarkably simple.?The Project for Public Spaces will work to bring about these changes.” “Cities must respond because well-functioning public spaces are indispensable to the life of cities as we know them.” “Even a cursory examination of the applicative laws reveals the multifarious, sometimes conflicting, sometimes overlapping responsibilities of city agencies for the use, maintenance, design, construction, and planning of city-owned or -controlled public open space, particularly streets and sidewalks….No one voice speaks for the interest of the pedestrian.” “It is all too obvious that transportation planning is done almost exclusively with the object of moving vehicles, often at the expense of pedestrians – through sidewalk narrowing, traffic light timing and so on.” “Our experience has indicated that the design and use of urban public spaces requires a perspective broader than that of the architect or designer.?We believe in an interdisciplinary approach." “Our planned mode of operation will have four major components: programming, evaluation and design, legal and governmental, and education, training and publications.” “From the evaluations, the programming experience, the legal and economic explorations, lawsuits, proposal and the designs and redesigns of public spaces will come a wealth of knowledge about how to further evaluate, interpret, promote, and design public spaces.?Documentation in the form of movies, slide shows, pamphlets, booklets, exhibits and lectures will publicize this Project.” “The Project for Public Spaces will have a lifetime of three years. We have imposed this time limit because…it is a realistic time period in which to accomplish our objectives and a relatively short term period will force us to act as a catalyst rather than as an operating organization, and that will give us needed flexibility.” While much has changed over 50 years, it's good to see that the fundamentals have held up! It turns out we could be a catalyst and an operating organization.

CityTalk | Live — “ Let’s Talk About Placemaking: Scaling Impact, Building Community “ Placemaking is transforming cities—fostering social connection, economic growth, cultural vibrancy, and environmental resilience.

Join us for CityTalk Live as we dive into “Let’s Talk About Placemaking, Canadian Urban Institute's latest publication in collaboration with Canada’s Placemaking Community. We’ll explore powerful case studies, innovative policies, and why now is the time to bring placemaking to the center of city-building conversations across Canada, the U.S., and beyond. Thursday at 12-1pm EST Registration link: https://lnkd.in/eeKEvRyB Moderated by Mary W. Rowe, with panelists Bridget MacIntosh, Jacquelyn West, Madeleine Spencer, Ryan Smolar and our Ethan Kent.

?? What if recovery after a climate disaster comes from people and place? The recent DANA floods in Valencia have exposed the vulnerabilities of our territory and the urgent need for a new approach to reconstruction—one that prioritizes community-driven decision-making, sustainable planning, and equity. In this critical moment, we can learn from our own history. The Tribunal de les Aigües de València, the oldest legal institution in Europe, has thrived for over a thousand years through participatory governance and local resource management. What if we applied these same principles to post-disaster recovery?

Beautiful new placemaking resource from the #PlacemakingCanada community. Very timely as Canadian placemaking leaders are generously hosting our June #GlobalPlacemakingSummit in Toronto. A decade after the first Placemaking Canada report and convening, this extensive document helps establish and define how far the community has come and establishes key background from which the Summit conversation can build. "Let's Talk About Placemaking is a new magazine-like publication developed collaboratively by Canada’s Placemaking Community, the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI), PlacemakingUS, and a range of leading practitioners across Canada and internationally. It’s a visually rich resource that provides a comprehensive look at the value created by contemporary placemaking in Canada." Grateful to placemaking leaders Madeleine Spencer, Bridget MacIntosh, Jacquelyn West, Mary W. Rowe and others for so thoughtfully putting this together.
