Project for Public Spaces (PPS)

Imagine a plaza or town square bustling with people who are greeting each other, buying, selling, and exchanging ideas. For everyone striving to make public spaces better, PPS is that town square. Our vision is to act as the central hub of the global Placemaking movement, connecting people to ideas, expertise, and partners who share a passion for creating vital places.
Since 1975, we have worked in more than 2,000 communities in 26 countries around the world, helping people turn their public spaces into vital community places, with programs, uses, and people-friendly settings that build local value and serve community needs.
Our mission-driven program areas encompass all major public spaces. With the talent of our dedicated staff and the generous contributions of our partners and funders -- organizations like The Wallace Fund, the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Kellogg Foundation -- we have improved parks, markets, streets, transit stations, libraries and countless other places.
