Description
As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, cities from San Francisco, California to West Palm Beach, Florida are revolutionizing how the public space surrounding businesses like restaurants can be transformed to accommodate rapidly shifting economic needs. As a result, communities are breathing life back into their districts and neighborhood centers with an array of approaches aimed at redesigning dining, shopping, and parking areas. We’ll speak with Ryan Smolar, the initiator of the PlacemakingUS network to learn more about how North American cities are shaping these opportunities and how they can be implemented in your community.
