Check out the Research KnowledgeBase on Creative Placemaking
Creative placemaking is a process where community members, artists, arts and culture organizations, community developers, and other stakeholders use arts and cultural strategies to implement community-led change. This approach aims to increase vibrancy, improve economic conditions, and build capacity among residents to take ownership of their communities. From this page you can search for resources that provide background and policy guidance on creative placemaking. And you can filter these search results by various graphic and demographic characteristics.
