HR&A Advisors Receives Public Space Leadership Award from Design Trust

HR&A Advisors was honored to receive the Public Space Leadership Award at the Design Trust for Public Space’s 30th Anniversary Benefit this past June. For three decades, the Design Trust has been a catalyst for reimagining New York City’s public realm, and we were proud to join the distinguished roster of leaders recognized with this honor.

 

For almost 50 years, HR&A has worked to create vital places, build equitable and resilient communities, and improve people’s lives. We’ve served more than 150 proposed and existing urban open spaces, parks, and park systems, translating the ideas of communities and their advocates into meaningful systems change.

 

This recognition highlights HR&A’s deep-rooted commitment to the vitality of public spaces across NYC—a commitment exemplified by our Principal, Thomas Jansen, who serves on the Design Trust’s Board of Directors and actively contributes to advancing its mission. The award stands as a testament to our incredible team, clients, and partners who make this work possible.
