With the Design Trust’s upcoming 30th Anniversary in 2025, we are celebrating three decades of transformative public space design in New York City. Our impact can be felt across the five boroughs—from our first project developing design guidelines for the Brooklyn Public Library system, to reclaiming the High Line as an open public space, and to our recent efforts at removing permitting barriers for hosting events and resources in shared spaces.
Public spaces are the soul of our city. Facing national uncertainty around funding and care for infrastructure and the arts, we remain committed to investing in local communities and fostering vibrant public spaces as imperative venues for cultural, economic, and democratic life. Please, consider supporting our annual appeal starting this Giving Tuesday and join our campaign to raise $30,000 to ensure the next 30 years of necessary public space projects.
