Do you have ideas to unlock the potential of a street, park, plaza, empty lot, market, or other outdoor space in your community?
Project for Public Spaces’ signature three-week online course welcomes professionals from the field—architects, urban planners, public space managers, and other advocates—who are interested in learning essential placemaking principles and tools to implement and manage a public space improvement project.
Over six sessions, our instructors will respond to the unique needs of the group and help you translate your vision into an actionable plan. Materials will include case studies from inspiring public spaces around the world as well as recorded presentations from leaders in the field. Attendees will leave with knowledge of place analysis techniques, useful case studies and reference materials, and an expanded sense of possibility for turning underused outdoor sites into vibrant gathering places. Each session will meet synchronously over Zoom.

Three core training sessions - These core sessions will last just over two hours, consisting of presentations, a breakout discussion and some time for Q and A.
One networking activity - Along with core sessions there will be a facilitated networking opportunity to connect with fellow course participants and share your own work, challenges, and ideas.
Additional special topic sessions led by guest presenters - Two shorter 1.5 hour sessions offered that dive deeper into specific topics.
Supplemental assignments and resources - Weekly assignments will build upon the content of the core sessions and help you apply the tools and concepts discussed during the training to your own work. Relevant articles, guides, and videos will also be made available to supplement your learning.
