The Mayors' Institute on City Design releases "Creative Placemaking" report

Creative Placemaking is a resource for mayors, arts organizations, the philanthropic sector, and others interested in understanding strategies for leveraging the arts to help shape and revitalize the physical, social, and economic character of neighborhoods, cities, and towns.

In the words of the report, “Creative placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired.”

Partners involved with the Mayors’ Institute on City Design’s report include the National Endowment for the Arts, U.S. Conference of Mayors, and American Architectural Foundation.
