Artists can play a major role in transformative redevelopment because they see space through a different lens, imagining authentic new uses for buildings that increase neighborhood vitality, and draw new investment to abutting properties.
Help us demonstrate the opportunities that creative placemakers can unlock in your community. Send along examples of cultural projects that have been transformative in your city. Or better yet, send us a property ripe for artist-inspired redevelopment. All this summer we’ll be assembling a photo essay on transformative redevelopment in Gateway Cities through creative placemaking – past, present, and future.
