What is Placemaking?
“Creative Placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.”
Creative Placemaking White Paper, National Endowment for the Arts, 2010
Why Focus on Place?
“A sense of place is a unique collection of qualities and characteristics–visual, cultural, social, and environmental–that provide meaning to a location. Sense of place is what makes one city or town different form another, but sense of place is also what makes our physical surroundings worth caring about.”
The Distinctive City, Edward T. McMahon, 2012
