Find work that builds something worth loving

This Must Be The Place is a bi-monthly newsletter sharing opportunities for placemaking professionals.

Great places don't happen by accident. Neither do great careers. We're here for both.

This Must Be the Place started as a simple newsletter for people who care deeply about the built environment—and want to actually do something about it.

We curate the jobs, events, and ideas that matter to urban planners, designers, community developers, and the folks building the field from the ground up.

No noise. No generic aggregators pulling every "project manager" listing on LinkedIn. Just the roles and resources worth your time — straight to your inbox, every other Monday.

Amid all the email spam, This Must Be The Place is a welcome addition to my inbox each month. It connected me to an incredible career opportunity I never would have found through my usual job-hunting channels, and I love seeing what’s opening up around the country as a window into what’s happening in the industry. But it’s more than just jobs — Carolyn’s curated Reading List is one of my go-to sources whenever I’m looking for a new book or doing research. She’s one of my most trusted sources!
