Placemaking Newsletter: Top Ten Busking Hotspots in the World
THE TOP TEN BUSKING HOTSPOTS IN THE WORLD
In 2011 I went to forty major cities in thirty countries on five continents to
film street performers. Traveling like that – seeing so many cities in such a

Starbucks. Only one thing continued to stand out: the buskers.
BEING IN BOGOTA: PUBLIC SPACES IN THE "ATHENS OF SOUTH AMERICA"
This past month PPS project associate Nidhi Gulati was presenting in Bogota,

opportunity, Nidhi spent her days touring and observing the "Athens of South
America's" public spaces, the result of which is the fourth in a series of
Placemaking photoblogs.

PLACEMAKING AT PRO WALK/PRO BIKE/PRO PLACE AND BEYOND

cities around the world as we begin to question the transportation status quo
and apply the Placemaking paradigm shift like never before.
