Does Public Works draw a card if I place no development?

The rulebook states in its "CARD POWERS" section that Public Works draws after its owner builds a development.

No. Public Works and similar draw-when-you-place powers trigger only after you place a development, so building nothing gives no card. Terraforming Robots and the Settle selection bonus are the world-side equivalents.
