Description
Summary:A DECADE AFTER THE GREAT PLACES in America program started, it's a good time for a second look. What has made the difference in these neighborhoods, streets, and public places? How have they met the inevitable challenges that communities face, and how well have they grasped new opportunities? Did the Great Places designation give the community a boost? Did it inspire local leaders to put planning policies into action? Planning's 10-year wrap-up features communities from Washington to Florida, and Missouri to New York. For in-depth coverage of all the designees-including the 15 announced this month during National Community Planning Month-go to planning.org/greatplaces.
