The Design Trust for Public Space is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to improving the design, utility and understanding of public space in New York City.
History
The Design Trust was founded in 1995 by Andrea Woodner.
Process
The Design Trust gives public agencies and community groups the means to work collaboratively with private sector design and other professionals.
Projects
The Design Trust selects research and design projects through an open Request for Proposals (RFP) every 18-24 months. These projects are at the earliest stage, when targeted expertise can transform critical policy and development decisions. Sponsored projects receive funding, project planning, and ongoing advocacy efforts.
