Organizing a Workgroup

PlacemakingUS is a voluntary PlacemakingX regional network inspired by our sister networks in Asia, Europe and Latin America.

We need. your help jumpstarting our network by organizing a national topic workgroup around issues like Climate Change, Tool Testing, Publications/Reports or Inclusivity.

See a full list of Europe's established workgroups.
