A BENCH WITH A PURPOSE
A Good Place Bench is the physical extension of Good Place, a series of conversations on a public bench, about life and the place you live in.
Cities, municipalities, campuses, corporate environments, student housing networks, cultural locations, and more can now get their very own Good Place Bench.
We design, launch, and activate the bench to help facilitate:
A safe space for conversation
Strengthening social cohesion
A social support system
Join us in building a network of connection and conversation!

Mayors in Placemaking
The Cities in Placemaking initiative has been crucial in bringing 12 European cities together to shape a future where public spaces help build community, promote equity, and improve the quality of life for everyone.
The Cities in Placemaking initiative is organized by Placemaking Europe. In collaboration with Good Place, we had the opportunity to sit with mayors 1-1 and discuss the role of placemaking in their city.
