Our Work
United Streets of AmericaAs a result of COVID, American cities are reallocating their streets. The changed plans may be temporary for now, but any changes made during COVID could have long-term impact for our communities' pandemic-aware built-environment. Recognizing this opportunity to re-envision how streets work, we're gathering placemakers to help spread innovative policies and work with community-based groups and independent small businesses in-need to facilitate site-specific help planning their outdoor space. Sign-up to Participate in the United Streets of America revolution!

Placemaking DeclarationsThe Wuhan Placemaking Declaration was a major milestone where the United Nations and Chinese regional government made a declaration of placemaking values for their urbanization efforts.
Scott Strawbridge of Placemaking So:Flo took it up as his Placemake Earth Challenge to write a localized, bottom-up Placemaking Declaration. Through dialogues hosted by PlacemakingUS, the Pontiac Holonomy Incubator jumped on-board to help a cohort from Forida mind-map thought-sessions on creating a placemaking declaration from the ground-up. The idea of local placemaking declarations being generated is a great activity we are promoting and supporting. Check out this version from Placemaking New Zealand and tell us you're not inspired to localize placemaking language into your community's native tongue! |
