Welcome to the BSA’s Placemaking Network! We are dedicated to interdisciplinary dialogue and education about an integrated public realm. Programs include monthly seminars and project-based initiatives on the subject of Placemaking. Presentations by noted speakers and discussions focus on what makes public spaces successful. We examine how architects, landscape designers, urban planners, artists and public officials work together to create great public places, to turn space into place.

Reinventing small, older industrial cities for the 21st century requires sizeable public intervention, but these so-called “gateway” cities lack the political capital to draw sufficient public investment. MassInc research director Benjamin Forman is our guest speaker when the Placemaking Network meets on February 27 at noon at BSA Space (290 Congress Street, Boston). He will describe new placemaking policy opportunities around which effective political alliances can be built, providing design leaders with new openings to envision a radically different future for these vital urban centers.
