The District of Columbia Public Space Activation & Stewardship Guide is a resource developed by the Office of Planning, in collaboration with other District agencies, to help District stakeholders foster vital public spaces throughout the city.    

This guide lays out specific strategies, handy models, and innovative best practices to demonstrate how people can successfully activate a range of places to advance creativity, community, and culture.  Individuals and groups who are considering activation projects can find a set of tools that walk them through the spatial and cultural considerations of public space and help them to navigate the requisite regulatory processes.
