To help promote the ideas included in the "Playbook for Inclusive Placemaking," published earlier this year, the project for Public Spaces recently updated its Great Public Spaces database with five projects that embody concepts of equity and inclusion.

"While equity is complex and requires an ongoing, open, honest, and courageous conversation, these projects are a good reminder that this complexity shouldn’t stop us from finding ways big and small to transform good intentions into real-life interventions," according to the article.

The five projects can be found in Bogotá; Atlanta; Memphis; Bexley, Ohio; and Hartford, Connecticut.
