Our experience of physical environment is most defined and enhanced by great places and the things we do in them, yet we seldom focus on creating great places and defining them around uses.  A great place typically has at least 10 things to do in it; a great neighborhood or district has at least 10 great places; and a great city or region has a least 10 of these great districts, plus other major destinations.  By having people think about their special places and greatest opportunity places, a community can quickly determine its strengths and prioritize a path forward.  This simple, common sense idea can be transformative for evaluating and strategically improving an entire city or region.  http://www.pps.org/articles/the-power-of-10/ [...]

The Power of 10 The Project for Public Spaces compiled the principles of placemaking and presented them as the Power of 10. They suggest that any great place needs to offer at least 10 things to do or 10 reasons to be there. These “things” include places to sit, art to touch, music to hear, food to eat, history, people, playgrounds, etc. The offerings should ideally include things that are unique to that place.  The Power of 10 offers a framework that motivates residents and stakeholders to revitalize urban life and suggest that starting at the smallest scale you can accomplish big things to make communities great.
