Great public spaces

Project for Public Spaces and Planetizen did a crowdsourcing project to identify the best 100 public places in the U.S. The list numbering shows the deficits sometimes inherent in "crowdsourcing," but the spaces are all interesting nonetheless. See "The Top 100 Public Spaces in the U.S. and Canada."

Nigel points us to a complementary entry on SitePhocus, where they ran photos of a number of the identified sites. Great photos.
