Pulse of Public Spaces Week#23
Public spaces tell the story of our cities—who they’re built for, how they evolve, and what they make possible. This week, Tiggo's Pulse of Public Spaces explores spaces in flux: Portland’s Winter Light Festival turns streets into glowing playgrounds, proving cities can be more playful. The State of the Cities 2024 report uncovers where urban investments are flowing—hint: public space is key. A viral mural of a Black woman with a pink afro redefines visibility in the streets. And the Osun Sacred Grove stands as a living reminder that not all public spaces are built—some are sacred. How do these spaces shape the future? Let’s dig in.

Portland becomes the best version of our city when we fill our street plazas with families, bicycles, farmers' markets, music, and small businesses. From Ankeny Rainbow Road to St. Johns Plaza, this visionary flourishing of public spaces has grown from a dream to a community staple.

State of Cities 2024
National League of Cities
The State of the Cities 2024 report dives into what’s shaping U.S. cities right now—housing crunches, aging infrastructure, workforce shifts, and public safety challenges. It’s a pulse check on urban priorities, straight from mayoral addresses. For Tiggo, this matters because cities set the stage for public space investments, policy shifts, and new opportunities. Understanding these trends means staying ahead—knowing where funding flows, what communities need, and how public spaces fit into the big picture. If you work in urban development, this report isn’t just insightful—it’s essential. Where cities go, public spaces follow.
