Extra! Extra! Placemaking in the News!

PPS made a big splash in print, on TV, and on the radio this month, beginning with Fred Kent's appearance on the front page of the New York Times City Section. The article examined four of New York's major public spaces through the lens of Placemaking. Fred followed that up with two interviews on WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show, taking callers' questions about their favorite and least favorite places (see below). And on the other side of the country, the University of California-San Diego's television station released a DVD chronicling PPS's Placemaking process in the city of Solana Beach (see sidebar).
