During these difficult and unprecedented times of social distancing, isolation, and lockdown, many of us are realising the core tenet of social psychology- that humans need to belong to groups, to feel a sense of connection to humans around us, and to share a sense of identity and purpose.

This newsletter from the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) connects people who share a passion for public spaces to ideas and issues, news, quotes, places, and events from the placemaking movement. In this edition, PPS is pleased to announce the internal appointment of our two new Senior Directors of Programs & Projects.
