Bryant Park, New York

Bryant Park is the iconic place that clearly demonstrates what theplacemaking.
Jerome Barth worked there for 15 years and developed both the programming, the operations and the financial model which allowed this park to go from a budget of 5 million dollars per year in 1998 to more than 25 million today.
Once a crime hotspot and a planning failure, Bryant Park is today the symbol of public space attraction, welcomes 8 million visitors a year, offers more than 2,000 free programs for the public, and is financially self-sufficient (without public funds).
The principles that have enabled this extraordinary evolution are universally applicable and are at the heart of our approach.
