WHO
WE ARE
Julie
Caniglia
Julie's passion for public-space
issues can be traced back at least to the seventh
grade, when she wrote an essay comparing her junior
high school's dull suburban environs with the activity
and urban aura of downtown Denver. Her initial exposure
to the work of William H. Whyte came from a copy of
The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces owned by her
mother, a landscape architect; shortly after viewing
the film version, she discovered Project for Public
Spaces. With a background in journalism and experience
at several dot-coms (now dead or dying), Julie Caniglia
came on board at PPS to develop and manage the Urban
Parks Online resource center.
She has also put her editing and
writing skills to work on projects from publications
to position papers to marketing brochures, and is
currently developing PPS' newest web venture: "Local
Online Resource Centers" for communities in which
we are working to improve or develop public spaces.
Julie has a BA in Art History
from Carleton College, and received a travel grant
from Minnesota's Center for Arts Criticism to study
what she defined as "the simulated city"
in places like Celebration, Florida and Universal's
CityWalk in Los Angeles.
