This session will focus on new and innovative ways to think about public spaces and how “placemaking” projects can revive neighborhoods and bring people together. Placemaking has emerged as a new development strategy that focuses on community history, needs and goals. These areas are generally multi-use and fit into the community’s identity. The training session will cover how to embrace placemaking: evaluate a space, create a vision, plan for management and use other models to revitalize a small space or entire city. Topics will include the placemaking process, how to engage community members, the keys to implementing projects in public spaces, developing campaigns and more.  Learn more
