Creative Placemaking

This blog post highlights a creative placemaking process used to develop a mixed-use complex in the District of Columbia. The first step is to understand the context, including the surrounding neighborhood needs and the history of the space. Additional steps include bringing together artists and community members to shape the proposal development process, discussing the benefits of creative placemaking, implementing the plan while engaging in strategies to avoid negative impacts on the community, and focusing on collaborating throughout the project.
