"In looking back at everything Project for Public Spaces has accomplished since 1975, as I did recently at a sidewalk cafe near my home in Brooklyn, it has never been more clear that when you focus on the idea of "place," everything changes. Paying serious attention to places represents a breakthrough for our society, which can spark genuine progress in how we govern ourselves, how we are involved in our communities, how streets and public spaces feel to us, how we shop, work, play and socialize with our friends".

"Placemaking is based on two simple principles. First: with the right tools and guidance, community members can initiate and implement changes on their own rather than follow the dictates of design professionals and corporations. Second: Placemaking draws on the unique assets inherent in each and every community. It recognizes citizens’ deep knowledge about the place they call home, ushering in a sense of collective pride and ownership. Using these strengths to work toward common goals involves everyone in the process and results in high quality projects that succeed both commercially and socially".
