Our Philosophies
We believe...
We believe every space can and should be a great place. We believe that communities benefit from more humane, inviting, and lively places to be. We believe everyone is welcome in public space and that good activity drives out bad activity.
The Strategy of Place

Working Holistically
At The Musicant Group, we focus specifically on how the whole of a place is made up of the relationships between the physical elements, management and stewardship, and the events and activities which occur there. When creating great places - those which are meaningful, adaptable, and useful to people inhabiting the space- consider each of these elements, and how they influence one another.
