Using Community Planning Practices to Effect Change & Make Great Places
What exactly do we mean by placemaking? A place is a geographic location that has an identity, personality and appeal to a broad cross section of citizenry. Great places include Annapolis, SoHo, Ann Arbor, Charleston, Cold Spring, Milford, Woodstock, and many others.
Through our placemaking initiative, we offer tours, forums, and conferences to
help citizens:
-
Learn about the demographic changes affecting our region
-
Discover the advantages of building community consensus
-
Find out about new innovative planning techniques
-
Determine the long-term sustainability of these new ideas
-
Learn how to get things done without a lot of money
