Project for Public Spaces

Project for Public Spaces is partnering with the Incarnate Word Foundation and the Whitaker Foundation to offer its much celebrated "What Makes a Place Great" lecture and workshop in St. Louis.

ABOUT PROJECT FOR PUBLIC SPACES
The Project for Public Spaces is a New York based nonprofit dedicated to creating and sustaining public spaces that build communities. Their research is based on sociologist William Whyte's pioneering urban studies. For 30 years the group has provided technical assistance, education, and research through programs in parks, plazas and central squares; buildings and civic architecture; transportation; and public markets in 1,000 communities in the United States and around the world. Check out their website at www.pps.org.

Hear what they have to say by attending a public lecture and breakfast on Friday morning, May 13. Fred Kent and Kathy Madden, PPS principals, will explain their research.

You will get a firm start toward learning what makes a public space great and an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals working to make our community a better place.
