Placemaking for Smart Growth

In recent months PPS has been called on to keynote another Smart Growth Conference in Traverse City, Michigan- which is part of the larger shift in Michigan toward a Place-based agenda. Check out videos from all the keynotes at the Smart Growth conference in Traverse City, including an interview with Fred.

Leverages existing infrastructure and assets, funding and projects

Builds community partnerships, grassroots support and capacity for implementation

Transforms the way we think of the role of our streets, parks, public buildings, farmers markets, and new development.
