Course Description
Placemaking is a people-centered approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces as spaces for opportunity and healing. Placemaking involves engaging with communities to understand and address public space challenges from the people who live, work, and play in that space. Through investing in local residents and transforming public spaces, creative placemaking can improve public safety in marginalized communities with high levels of poverty, violence, and trauma. In communities with high levels of violence, residents share emotional and psychological reactions to trauma that impacts the interactions and fabric of that community.
The creative placemaking process highlighted in this course will focus on three phases–planning, envisioning, and implementation. The planning phase requires data collection to help with the site selection of an ideal space to transform with residents. Identifying key stakeholders is necessary to facilitate the envisioning and implementation phases of the process. Creative placemaking helps to address underlying challenges around poverty and community trauma rather than just treating the symptoms. Placemaking allows for innovative, place-based strategies for community resilience building, healing, and economic vitality.
This course will focus on strategies to effectively engage residents of marginalized communities in the placemaking process.
At the end of this hands-on course, you will be able to facilitate an effective and culturally appropriate community engagement process involving minority groups.
