Mission: Our cities and neighborhoods deserve great public space. When properly cared for, urban plazas, parks and streets unite communities, providing safe shared places to relax, play, connect and celebrate. When neglected, they divide communities and undermine shared values. At Build Public we apply the spirit of innovation to empower neighborhoods to fund, build and maintain great public spaces for the long term.
