The Better Block Foundation works to change the world block by block by: Implementing traditional Better Blocks, which are 90-120 day community engagement projects that end with transformation of a space chosen by and designed with the community. Creating custom-designed, beautiful elements that activate spaces and are easy to build by community members. Open-sourcing ideas, such as digitally fabricated street furniture designs, so that the reach of the Better Block goes far beyond our team. Applying CPTED principles to reduce crime through environmental design. Activating spaces quickly and efficiently with our Better Block in a Box, a mobile placemaking unit that can be shipped straight to your neighborhood. Spreading the word of the importance of placemaking through Jason Roberts’ speaking engagements, study tours around the world, and engaging workshops.
