This Must Be the Place is a career and professional resource for people working to create stronger, more vibrant communities. Through a curated newsletter, the platform connects urban planners, designers, placemakers, community developers, and other professionals with opportunities to put their skills and ideas to work.
Published every other Monday, the newsletter shares job openings, events, industry news, and resources selected specifically for people working in the built environment and community development. Rather than relying on broad employment aggregators, it focuses on opportunities that reflect the values and ambitions of the placemaking field.
The platform also offers a professional directory, reading list, and other resources, while helping organizations reach people who are passionate about cities and communities.
This Must Be the Place recognizes that strengthening communities also means strengthening the profession itself—connecting talented people with meaningful work, encouraging collaboration, and helping the next generation of placemakers find their place in the field.
