Project for Public Spaces is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities. Founded in 1975, PPS embraces the insights of William (Holly) Whyte, a pioneer in understanding the way people use public spaces. Today, PPS has become an internationally recognized center for best-practices, information, and resources about Placemaking.

Making Places, the PPS blog, is an interactive e-place to share news on placemaking, urban planning and civic action, as well as share news on PPS projects, initiatives and events.
