Register Now for PPS's October Training Courses
PPS invites you to two workshops, How to Turn a Place Around and How to Create Successful Public Markets on Oct 28-29, 2004 in New York City.
HOW TO TURN A PLACE AROUND is designed for professionals and non-professionals alike who help shape towns and cities -- from highway engineers and real estate developers to community garden advocates and housing specialists. Based on PPS's 29 years of experience in placemaking, and inspired by our popular book, "How to Turn a Place Around," the course shows step-by-step our unique approach to revitalization.
During the course, participants work in small teams to observe and analyze places in Greenwich Village and Battery Park City, two very different parts of New York City. The site visits illustrate pertinent issues, provide insight into how public spaces function, and encourage participants to see the sites from a user's point of view. New to the course this fall, we will be discussing the sites through the lens of "Urban Parks and Civic Life."
Registration covers two days of tuition, including a neighborhood tour, in-depth presentations and discussions, on-site evaluation, case studies, a copy of How to Turn a Place Around, and training support materials. Light lunch on Thursday and Friday, and refreshments will also be provided.
