Yinz Are Good shares the good stuff - the good news - going on out there and celebrates all the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors...the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.
Building community (literally and figuratively), creating connections, making memories...
Our guest today specializes in transforming overlooked and distressed urban spaces into places that unite the communities around them - and he engages with community members to do it. Enriching public spaces on many levels, his philosophy is that public space, done right, lifts everything around it.
“He” is Ben Donsky, Principal at Agora Partners. Agora Partners is a planning and real estate advisory firm that focuses their efforts on the public realm: parks, plazas, streets, sports and cultural facilities and other public venues. They help to create these spaces all over the country.
They concentrate on “placemaking”, as they say on their website: “While placemaking can often sound like a buzzword, it means more than that to us. It’s about creating emotional connections between people and place, rooted in curated experiences and planned serendipity. Beautiful and thoughtful planning is central to our work, but it’s the experience that makes a place memorable. That’s what drives everything we do.”
If, like Tressa, you've never known much about this side of how these urban spaces come to life - the planning, the building of the partnerships, the community engagement behind it - get ready to be enlightened and inspired. Tressa and Ben also chat about his journey and personal connection to his work, as well as his dedication to community service.
