SUMMARY:Placemaking: Building Safe\, Connected\, and Resilient Communities
DESCRIPTION:We can build community by designing better public spaces! Get an introduction to placemaking\, and then dive deeper into examples of how two forms of placemaking – little free libraries and road murals – can be used to build safe\, connected\, and resilient communities. This talk explores ways in which individuals\, community groups\, and municipal governments can support placemaking\, and the role that visualization and data can play in promoting placemaking.
