April 1st, 2022 we launched PlaceX to help draw certain investment to space, and leave Earth for the rest of us to save through investing in place: placemakingx.org/article/spa… @PlacemakingX

If you're looking for the next big IPO after SpaceX, I offer PlaceX! Invest in place, as a hedge against us all going to space. Some investing in space opens up an opportunity for these rest of us to invest in place - while drawing to space that which no longer supports place.

Time to grow the placemaking movement through more systemic, regenerative approaches. Thrilled to be participating in this Summit with Tony Cho & so many luminaries like Carlos Moreno, Majora Carter, Dr Dominique Hes, Bill Reed, Dan Buettner. #RegenerativePlacemaking @FOCities
