Achieving Great Federal Public Spaces is a valuable tool for federal and nonfederal public building property managers seeking to evaluate and improve their lobbies, atriums, plazas, courtyards, and other public spaces.

Written and designed by Project for Public Spaces and GSA, the book is both a hands-on resource with on-site exercises and a handy reference tool full of ideas and inspiration. It comprises four major sections:

Introduction: Why great places matter and what makes a good public space.
Evaluation: How to determine which aspects of a building's public space need improvement, and which are performing well.
Solutions: What improvements work in the short-, medium-, and long-term.
Implementation: How to successfully put ideas into practice.
