Our 2025 Impact Report is a testament to what happens when communities are put at the center of public space design. Whether you're a placemaker, funder, or simply someone who appreciates a good public space, there's something in here to inspire you: https://t.co/L2EyYW1FUn
It’s the sidewalks, stupid.
Sidewalks are the least understood, most overlooked public space.
No discipline claims it, so it’s up to us normal human beings to make sure this central public space becomes recognized as a top priority for every community.
