Squares Projects
Squares and plazas have been a core focus of PPS beginning with our work with William H. (Holly) Whyte and our signature early projects like Rockefeller Center's Channel Gardens. Over the years we have helped many cities create such great public destinations. Today, as more people come to recognize the galvanizing power of squares and plazas, we are working with communities to transform more underperforming spaces into great squares and plazas than ever before.
