Opportunity at the intersection of community development and creative placemaking

Ben Hecht

Community Development Innovation Review, 2014, issue 02, 005-009

Abstract: The synergies from and benefits of more collaboration between the community development and creative placemaking fields are compelling?an almost certain case of one plus one equals three. Less certain, however, is how collaboration will be accomplished. Should philanthropy or government, which fund both fields, drive the marriage and, if so, how? Would something such as a large-scale, national ?prize? competition create a tipping point? Should we simply maintain the current transaction-by-transaction strategy, which has been receiving traction, but do more to share ?what works? more broadly? This anthology makes it clear that something special is happening in US communities and raises the ante on determining what more we should do to nurture the movement.
