                                                   Contrasting 1
“Lowly, unpurposeful and
random as they may appear,
sidewalk contacts are the small
change from which a city’s
wealth of public life may
grow”. ─ Jane Jacobs
When you focus on creating a “place,”
   you do everything differently.
If you plan for cars and traffic…
you get more cars and traffic.
If you plan for people and places…
you get more people and places.
A study of three generations of 9 year olds
found that over a recent 20 year period, the
radius around the home that children were
allowed to play had sunken almost 90%.
                                 Richard Louv

What is Placemaking?
    Placemaking is turning a neighborhood, town
     or city from a place you can’t wait to get
     through to one you never want to leave.

    Placemaking is the creation of a built
     environment that creates community,
     stimulates interaction, encourages
     entrepreneurship, fosters innovation and
     nurtures humanity.
What is Placemaking?

   Placemaking is creating for everybody.
   The seed of democracy.
   Placemaking is the process of giving space a
    story that is shared by many.

Planning is no substitute for Placemaking:

   Inventory your assets and resources and then
    build on them
   Leverage community partnerships and
    grassroots support
   Consider what you want your city or town to
    be known for in the future.
   Create great places
Some Key Principles…

• People attract people attract people.
• When you focus on place, you do everything differently.
• It takes many disciplines and skills to create a place.
• It takes a place to create a community, and a
  community to create a place.
• Amenities that make a place comfortable are critical.
• You can’t know what you are going to end up with.
• Each place has its own identity.
• You can’t have anything less than excellence
• You have to have zealous nuts.
