Threads are brief forays into the journal’s history. Written by Places contributors, editors and directors, they draw from past articles, and create an accessible entry point into the depth of the archives. They tackle one topic, ranging from public space to shrinking cities, and explore the ideas of several contributors. Threads include links to the original articles, so that readers can go back and explore the stories in context and find other stories in an issue that might inspire. The breadth of the Places archives are vast, so enjoy exploring.
