Placemaking is more than a niche market
Placemaking is not a design endeavor. Or a business proposition. Or a public health pursuit. Or an equity concern. Or an avenue for culture and the arts. It’s all of these things.

Cultivating community: Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good
Success is people consciously working together, putting differences aside in pursuit of higher quality of life, and getting something done.
