Six U.S. cities will receive grants to redesign underloved or underutilized public spaces, thanks to funding from Southwest Airlines, which teamed up with the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) on the placemaking initiative.
The six cities (and the spaces destined for an upgrade) are Albuquerque, New Mexico (Civic Plaza), Fort Myers, Florida (Cornog Plaza), Jacksonville, Florida (Hemming Park), Milwaukee, Wisconsin (4MKE), Portland, Maine (Congress Square Park), and St. Louis, Missouri (Strauss Park).
