It Takes Great Places to Create Great Cities
Over half the world population now lives in cities, and while these cities are changing and growing at an unprecedented rate, there seems to be little discussion about what we want our cities to be like, or what the public realm can do to make cities great places to live.
Leading from the Ground Up
Partners for Livable Communities talks with PPS about how museums, churches, libraries, colleges and arts organizations are reaching beyond their walls to work with communities.
The Future of Markets
With the markets renaissance going strong for more than twenty years, we asked, "What's left for the markets movement to accomplish?" In a word, our panelists unanimously responded: "Plenty."
Changing the World One Block at a Time
The neighborhood is a powerful--but often overlooked--tool for social improvement.
