The Role of Outdoor Arts in Creative Placemaking: Transforming Communities and Places
This week’s addition to our library is Circostrada’s latest publication “The Role of Outdoor Arts in Creative Placemaking: Transforming Communities and Places”. This insightful resource is a must-read for anyone interested in how performing arts and outdoor arts can play a vital role in redefinining, transforming and revitalizing communities and spaces.
“Placemaking is a dynamic and organic process that involves the active participation of communities in the development and enhancement of their public spaces.” It is more than just urban design; it’s about creating meaningful connections between people and the places they inhabit. Through collaborative efforts, communities can transform underused areas into vibrant spaces that foster active engagement of their residents while allowing for sustainable development. Outdoor arts have proven to be an essential tool in this process, enabling creative placemaking to breathe new life into public spaces while fostering a sense of belonging and shared ownership.
This publication is a toolkit providing insights and perspectives on how to perform “creative placemaking”. It is a practical guide and a source of inspiration for those involved with this topic. It also features case studies, tips from experts and examples taken from actual creative placemaking practices.
