The Design Trust for Public Space is a non-profit dedicated to protecting and enlivening public spaces to create a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable city. We believe that the cultural and democratic life of the city depends on viable public space. Through the advancement of critical new research and collaborative projects aimed to improve the well-being of residents throughout the five boroughs, we bring together city agencies, community groups, and private sector experts to transform and activate public space throughout New York City.
