A Who's Who Of Important Placemakers

27 April 2004 - 8:00am

The Project for Public spaces publishes their list of the most important figures from the placemaking movement.

To make great places effectively, it helps to know the "thinkers and doers who have shaped the placemaking movement for the past 40-plus years." PPS has created a new "Placemaker Profiles" feature to highlight individuals who have captured our imagination about creating great places in every community. "By bringing together their compelling stories and insights, we hope to share their wisdom with our readers, honor their accomplishments, and acknowledge their profound influence on the placemaking movement."
