Social streetscapes improve quality of life

Cities serve as centers of innovation. People get together, learn from each other and create new opportunities for growth. When conditions are right and shared vision becomes reality, innovation starts to builds on its own success, attracting even more opportunities. Thoughtful use of public space may be a catalyst in this formula.

The City of Salem kicks off their Streetscapes Plan today and there’s a chance that more sociable public space will be allowed.  To get your imagination going, we’re showcasing social streetscapes from Salem, Portland, Wurzburg and Munich. What would your ideal downtown look like?
