People Places for the 21st Century

[Lori Molitor]

I like the idea of a “Place Score” or “Place Finder”. It seems similar to the PPS Great Place finder, http://www.pps.org/great_public_spaces/, but I’d hope it would be an easier search that includes many more spaces based on location. It seems you could get a lot of data from the designers of the places themselves, especially when it comes to intended uses. It seems to tie in well with the idea of evaluating the sucess of designs after construction. You could provide a form for a designer to fill in to populate your database with info on each project. Once you’ve got some data, make it a moblie app like Four Square with a search based on location and out of towners would find it even more useful.
