Resembling
The Onion more than its usual self, the
Project for Public Spaces, a non-profit group formed in 1975 to help communities improve their public spaces, released its
Making Places newsletter today as
Faking Places. While not as funny as
The Onion, the brief articles use humor to focus on bad spaces and their causes, such as
empty parking lots and
Wal-Mart.

For those not familiar with PPS, I would recommend looking around their site, a great resource for those interested in place making and public spaces in general. I'm particularly fond of the
Great Public Spaces section, examples and case studies of parks, markets, streets and buildings that contribute to the public realm.
