Placemaking

Placemaking is about creating community spaces with intention.  The concept seeks to bring neighbors together and develop projects which foster shared values, natural integration, art and community.  With so much time spent in the virtual world, physical communities are becoming a thing of the past. 

How often do you talk to your neighbors?

What resources are available in your community?

What would you like to see as part of your neighborhood?

Placemaking helps to answer these questions and more.

On August 14-17th I attending the Placemaking training workshop on Boulder, CO. We had a great time brainstorming and learning about new techniques for supporting community.
