SPONSORSHIP INVITATION

This September, global change agents will gather in Vancouver, B.C., for a major convening that will chart the future of the placemaking movement. These discussions take place at a critical moment, as Habitat III and COP21 set the stage for decades of dramatic change for cities.

Mon, Sept 12 - Thurs, Sept 15 Pro Walk/Pro Bike/Pro Place is the premier conference supporting walking, biking and placemaking professionals. It was founded in 1980 with the belief that more and better walking and biking builds stronger communities and healthier, happier people. The conference aims to build a community of practice that connects active transportation advocacy and local placemaking efforts to large-scale global challenges.

Weds, Sept 14 - Fri, Sept 16 Public space is located at the intersection of many global issues—from health to sustainability, innovation to equity. The Placemaking Leadership Forum is all about leveraging this convergence. Building on the work of PPS’s Placemaking Leadership Council and the outcomes of the international Future of Places conference series, attendees will develop and share concrete strategies for advancing placemaking locally and globally.

Photos from past Future of Places and Placemaking Leadership conferences. Attended by over 2,000 scholars, practitioners, and policymakers from over 100 countries.
