We are pleased to introduce a new series, The Placemaker’s Guide to Transportation, that helps citizens create vibrant streets and transit facilities in their communities. Each installment will feature a tool, concept, or resource that inspires engaged residents to think in new ways about their streets and neighborhoods.
The Power of 10 creates a simple but profound benchmark for a place, neighborhood, and city: A great place needs to have at least 10 things to do in it or 10 reasons to be there; a great neighborhood needs at least 10 great places; and a great city needs at least 10 great neighborhoods. Streets and transit stops always hold the potential to become places with 10 things to do.
