Project Public Works is an outreach effort designed to explore how decisions about the design, financing and management of municipal infrastructure impact the quality of services for city residents. The program began as an internal effort to improve the quality of our engineering and the motivation of our staff. It expanded to become a public outreach program directed at helping public works crews, contractors and government officials make more informed decisions regarding municipal infrastructure and its impacts over time.
We produce and share a variety of videos, graphics, and other media materials as part of Project Public Works. Please contact us if you would like copies of any of these resources or to comment.
