Fred Kent is the founder and president of the nonprofit organization Project for Public Spaces. The organization is dedicated to creating public places that foster communities.
When you focus on place you do everything differently.
If you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places.
Placemaking is community organizing. It's a campaign.
Everyone has the right to live in a great place. More importantly, everyone has the right to contribute to making the place where they already live great.
