GET FRED KENT
a leading authority on revitalizing urban public space, and one of the
foremost thinkers on livability, smart growth and the future of the
city.

As founder and president of Project for Public Spaces, Fred is known

challenges and inspires audiences to put common sense into practice and
to trust in the ability of ordinary
people to create meaningful public spaces for themselves. His topics,
which turn commonly held assumptions upside-down, include:

* Passion as the true test of a successful place
* Why money is NOT the problem
