Project For Public Spaces

Project For Public Spaces supports community-led development in urban settings. This department focuses on transforming shared spaces to better serve the daily lives of residents and visitors alike. Based at 419 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10012, the team engages directly with neighborhoods to identify needs and opportunities for public improvement. Urban planning here involves research, advocacy, and technical guidance, often working behind the scenes with local organizations. Projects may range from park activation to street redesign, emphasizing inclusive design, community visioning, and policy development. The work doesn’t happen in isolation; it thrives on public input and iterative feedback, ensuring solutions fit the actual rhythms of the city. Get in touch by phone at (212) 620-5660, or find the office using the directions. The department’s role may be subtle, but its effects ripple through the streets we use every day.
