New Website and Listserv: Better Buildings/Better Places

Dear SL colleagues,

NEW WEBSITE AND LISTSERVE dedicated to placemaking, architecture, and
improving communities

Want to increase your building's security while preserving public
access? Make your building serve as a "good neighbor" to the surrounding
community? Or even make money from your public spaces?

Find out how by visiting www.better-buildings.org. The "Better
Buildings/Better Places" website features dozens of articles, case
studies, success stories, research, and "toolkits" that address a range
of issues, including:

·       maximizing a building's economic potential
·       furnishing community-friendly public places
·       working with BIDs
·       traffic calming
·       and more...

LISTSERVE
The "Better Buildings" listserve is dedicated to connecting those people
with each other. Listserve members can ask questions and share answers,
communicate, debate issues with their peers - and contribute new ideas
for the website. Sign up for the "Better Buildings" listserve here:
