The Project for Public Spaces has published a very optimistic monthly newsletter for April 1st.

From 'Making' places, to 'Faking' places, the most recent newsletter from the project for public spaces (PPS) makes interesting reading. The feature story, "Bye Bye Big Box" covers a most incredible change in retail philosophy from Wal-Mart. Other news items include: how to transform football stadiums into vital community places, how New Jersey's "Garden State Parkway" boldly combines "new paradigms in transportation and recreation", the US Department of Transportation's "Roads with Character" initiative, assorted media clips and snapshots "relishing the joys of empty spaces."
