Case Study: Project for Public Spaces achieves documented transformation of City Hall courtyard into a thriving arts venue with Mapillary

Project for Public Spaces - Customer Case Study

Project for Public Spaces, the NYC-based NGO leading the placemaking movement, worked with local partners in Philadelphia to transform the City Hall courtyard into a showcase for the up-and-coming arts scene. To track the creation of public spaces, gather input from local artists, and document sustainability features and a new performance stage during on-site work, Project for Public Spaces captured street-level imagery on foot using smartphones with Mapillary.

Mapillary’s solution enabled rapid, on-foot smartphone capture to build a visual record of the courtyard’s transformation, helping partners review design options, collect artist feedback, and document sustainability installations. While no specific metrics were provided, Mapillary delivered a complete photographic archive that improved stakeholder engagement, streamlined coordination among partners, and preserved a verifiable record of the placemaking project.
