This September advocates, practitioners and policy makers will gather in Vancouver, British Columbia to chart the future of placemaking around the world.
Local Places for Global Change
Public spaces are at the core of many global issues—from health to sustainability, innovation to equity. The Placemaking Leadership Forum is all about leveraging this convergence. Building on the work of PPS’s Placemaking Leadership Council and the international Future of Places conference series, attendees will develop concrete strategies for advancing placemaking locally and globally.

This gathering takes place just weeks before the Habitat III Conference in Quito, which will finalize a “New Urban Agenda” to guide global urban development over the next two decades. Placemaking—and the holistic lens it brings to urban policy and investment—offers a way for local communities to fulfill the promise of these international agreements.
TRANSFORMATIVE AGENDAS
Everything is local. By applying new strategies for improving public spaces in our communities, we can better address challenges that affect people around the world.
