This is from a recent report by the prestigious organization Project for Public Spaces.
Healthy public spaces are the springboard for revitalizing communities, whatever they are and wherever they are. That an attractive, active, well-functioning public space can jump start economic development in a community – from a small rural town to a big city – is being recognized increasingly around the world.
Public spaces are a vital ingredient of successful cities. They help build a sense of community, civic identity and culture. Public spaces facilitate social capital, economic development and community revitalization.
Sincerely, Howard Warshauer, Manager of the NEW PUBLIC SPACE
