The Market

Over the past two decades, developers, government agencies, and communities have seen the positive economic and social impacts a well-managed public space, an active town square, or an energized urban district can have.

Today, developers are going beyond urban planning to design and structure the way a space will ultimately be delivered and function. And, they are integrating detailed plans for an active public realm within their development proposals as they see a smoother permitting process, increased value to their brand, and added financial success.
