About the network

At the Project for Public Space's US Placemaking Week in October 2019, Ethan Kent of PlacemakingX tasked Ryan Smolar (SoCal BID Leader/Food Systems Alliance Co-Director) with initiating a new placemaking network to cover the United States.

It's surprising the US is late to the table as it's home to such historic placemaking heavyweights as Jane Jacobs, Fred Kent/Kathy Madden and even William "Holly" Whyte, but as the saying goes: better late than never.

​"I am so inspired by our counterparts in Europe," said network initiator, Ryan Smolar. ​

"Placemaking Europe has shown us the way, bringing many countries together for collaborative work and comradery."

Smolar is working to bring Placemakers in the US together with several West Coast engagements in 2020. Join him in Portland, Oregon this Summer for a deep exploration of sustainability, permaculture and "village raising" and this Fall in Southern California for a deep dive into local food culture, economics, immigration and poverty alleviation.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
