The American Planning Association has released its 2013 list of Great Places in America and Vancouver, WA made the list for having a “great public space.”
The Great Places program celebrates places of exemplary character, quality, and planning. Places are selected annually and represent the gold standard in terms of having a true sense of place, cultural and historical interest, community involvement, and a vision for tomorrow.
Here’s the entire list of great neighborhoods, great streets and great public spaces.
