We're visiting​ 50 Cities this Summer!

As we rise out of the pandemic, we're hitting the road to connect with you in your own city!

We're reaching out through the network to placemakers on and along our route so we can connect meaningfully and make an impact this Summer.  Click here for tour dates and cities >

Ways to make use of our visit to your town:

#PLACEMAKING4RECOVERY WORKSHOPS

We're working with communities and groups while we're on the road. Let's talk about a purposeful workshop  with an established group or new mix of placemakers about prioritizing people and places in the American Recovery.

SITE VISITS AND TOURS

We visit places to gather case studies and help share how places came together, what's working and what's not.

​Nothing like skipping the formalities and diving right in. We are also working with some to evaluate their places using participatory tools like the PPS Place Game, STIPO City at Eye Level Game, and other tools (Seeing the Better City, mayhaps?).

GATHER FOOD AND FRIENDS

Gathering placemakers around food is always a great idea!

​We're excited to participate in cookouts, restaurant meetups, picnics, coffee sessions, pizza parties and especially encounters with the local food systems and cultural foodways.

INVITE US TO YOUR EVENTS & MEETINGS

When fortuitous, we are participating in local events and meetings as special guests already on local calendars.

​How convenient! Yes, we'll judge your pie-eating contest!

JOIN OUR CONVOY

The Placemakermobile is all full, but some have expressed interest in joining us for legs of the journey. Feel free to pick-up part of the road with us and join us as we connect across the nation.

CO-HOST A POP-UP

We love building things and planting the seeds for community change. We'd be excited to collaborate on a simple pop-up and get something done together out and about in the community.


​Sure, we'll build that donations-based farmstand with you in a single afternoon!

HELP SPONSOR OUR TRIP

We appreciate places to stay, gas money and funds to be able to host pop-ups and spend time in communities who really need us to stop by. Help contribute to our Summer Roadtip and make it possible!

Pay it Forward
