Project for Public Spaces

In researching for my next class project I remembered hearing about this awesome program called Project for Public Spaces. 

They're  a nonprofit planning, design and educational organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities. They lead projects as well as train people to help create these inclusive small urban spaces.  


In 2006 PPS came to Bellingham to hold a two day conference focusing on placemaking opportunities. (Read the story here) 


I wish I could have been there. Placemaking is such an important part of any urban framework. A project I'm working on this quarter for Sustainable Communities could really benefit from the ideas represented here. 


SO check it out!
