Phil uses placemaking to create places that are diverse and integrated, that spark interaction and exchange, and that build civic and social infrastructure.
Phil Myrick work as an urban design placemaking uses to build better places for people. He helps re-imagine streets, open spaces, buildings, and blocks to make them more pleasant, more useful, and more civic-minded. At the same time, he helps make cities much nicer places to be in. The future of your design and creating a better city than you think.
I always believed in getting the most bang for the buck (doesn’t everyone?). But if you look at how cities and towns spend money on infrastructure, it’s like money is no object.
I’m thinking of traditional infrastructure spending – the kind which is under much debate currently in Washington. The kind that gets divided up into buckets like public transit, ports and waterways, flood projects, and the perennial favorite “roads and bridges,” the mantra that is said over and over whenever an infrastructure bill is being considered.
Phil Myrick is in the business of making communities. His in-depth knowledge in place-based programming, management, strategy, and evaluation makes him well-positioned to help communities define their identity, evaluate the possibilities for their neighborhoods, and help them get the most out of the public spaces that are already there. If you are creating community placemaking projects, and he will be valuable for understanding how to design your space for success.
