Project for Public Spaces

I've seen this diagram before, but good to see it being used in a session at the GA Conference exploring fieldwork options.

In evaluating thousands of public spaces around the world, PPS has found that to be successful, they generally share the following four qualities: they are accessible; people are engaged in activities there; the space is comfortable and has a good image; and finally, it is a sociable place: one where people meet each other and take people when they come to visit. 

PPS developed The Place Diagram below as a tool to help people in judging any place, good or bad.
