PLACEMAKING
BRINGING MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES TO COMMUNITIES
When done right, placemaking drives real economic value in a community. It can also cultivate a sense of belonging and excitement for those who live there.
FROM PLANNING TO EXECUTION, WE’VE GOT PLACEMAKING COVERED
DEFINING YOUR PURPOSE
Placemaking means different things to different communities. It could be activating underutilized public spaces in certain neighborhoods or transforming a city into a destination. We help civic leaders and community organizations define what goals placemaking can support within their city limits and identify spaces will the most potential for impact.
INVITING THE COMMUNITY IN
We don’t go into a community assuming what types of programming and places are needed. Instead, we welcome the community into the process. From broader surveys to forming close connections with individual community members, we want to understand their hopes for where they live, work, and build their families. We view our role in placemaking as curators of what’s possible, bringing a community’s shared vision to life.
DELIVERING ON EXECUTION
The success of placemaking is in the details. Our team can complement existing community resources to help create effective programming and space activation. This could mean focusing on the design and programming for one particular space or proposing an annual programming calendar for a community’s parks. It’s entirely up to you.
