Slide1
To be successful, cities need destinations. They need destinations that give an identity and image to their communities and that help attract new residents, businesses and investment, but they also need strong community destinations for people to go to. A destination might be a downtown square, a main street, a waterfront, a park, or a museum. Cities of all sizes should have at least ten destinations where people want to be. What makes each destination successful is that it has places within it. For example, a square needs at least ten places: a café, a children’s play area, a place to read the paper or drink a cup of coffee, a place to sit, somewhere to meet friends, etc. Within each of the places, there should be at least ten things to do. Cumulatively, these activities, places and destinations are what make a great city. This is a big idea that PPS calls the “Power of 10”.Slide2
