Placemaking Is for People --Acknowledgments --Notes --IndexIn the wake of the Great Recession, American cities from Philadelphia to San Diego saw an upsurge in hyperlocal placemaking - small-scale interventions aimed at encouraging greater equity and community engagement in growth and renewal. But the projects that were the most successful at achieving these lofty ambitions weren't usually established by politicians, urban planners, or real estate developers; they were initiated by community activists, artists, and neighbours. In order to figure out why, 'The City Creative' mounts a comprehensive study of placemaking in urban America, tracing its intellectual history and contrasting it with the efforts of people making positive change in their communities today.Chicago scholarship online.City planningUnited StatesHistory21st centuryCity planningUnited StatesHistory20th centuryCommunity development, UrbanUnited StatesCity planningCitizen participationUrban renewalCitizen participationPublic spacesSocial aspectsUnited StatesAmerican history.architecture.creative placemaking.public art.social movements.urban agriculture.urban planning.visual sociology.City planningHistoryCity planningHistoryCommunity development, UrbanCity planningCitizen participation.Urban renewalCitizen participation.Public spacesSocial aspects307.121609730905Carriere Michael H.1217682Schalliol DavidStDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554277803321The city creative2815939UNINA
