Why We Need Social Hubs and How to Make Them
A social hub is a place where the mix of amenities, assets, and activities creates an environment that people enjoy frequenting, making it a social hotspot in a community.

Many of today's pain points have direct correlations to a lack of 'community.' Common interactions have gone from the public square to the radio to the TV to social media. Our ability to coexist as human beings has suffered. Good #placemaking disrupts this troubling trend.
Five years ago today #PlacemakingX was launched globally!
The goal was to globally network and accelerate learning, advocacy and impact for #placemaking.
Please share thoughts on how the movement has evolved and where #publicspace most needs support now.
