"""PPS' new places recipe book includes diagrams and tools to evaluate and suggest potential changes for any public space, from a neighborhood playground to a major tourist attraction. Any town, without calling in outside consultants, can use PPS's new book to develop similarly inventive strategies."" - Neal Peirce, Washington Post ""The people involved in the design and development within cities are thinking about all other facets of design, except for what makes a great place."" - Joseph P. Riley, Mayor of Charlestown, SC ""For years, PPS has been helping neighborhoods understand what their assets are, and how to use them to rebuild and restore their public spaces. This book is indispensable for anyone understands that with common sense and a lot of energy, any place can be turned around."" - Dana Crawford, President, Urban Neighborhoods, Inc., developer and preservationist ""Citizens are demanding that state Departments of Transportation do a better job of listening, and that we pay more attention to aesthetic and historic values. This book should be used as a primer for transportation officials to understand all the different elements that go into making a town or city livable."" - John C. Horsley, Executive Director, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)"
