Design of the Public Realm

From an abandoned hotel transformed into affordable senior residences in an Arizona border town and a colorful community pool in Los Angeles, to the redesign of the Crossroads of the World, architects shape the spaces of our daily lives. This special section explores civic centers, housing, parks, plazas, and health-care and transportation projects, their funding, and the blurring lines between public and private, as cities and communities take the lead in developing essential social infrastructure.
