Creative Placemaking

This blog post discusses the benefits of creative placemaking and explores creative placemaking indicators developed by the National Endowment for the Arts. It proposes that a successful creative placemaking project strengthens infrastructure for artists and arts organizations, foster community attachment, contributes to better quality of life, and supports local economies. Using indicators can help communities assess the impact of their creative placemaking approaches by providing support through data. It concludes by stating that an indicator framework can increase accessibility to information on successful creative placemaking strategies, providing “how-to” information to communities that are interested in engaging in creative placemaking.
