Description:
Placemaking is creating places and transforming public spaces to strengthen community, including diversity, equity and inclusion. Placemaking inspires people to imagine and reinvent public spaces in your community. Using the theory of placemaking, residents have hands-on opportunities to build community through dynamic and engaging programs.
Benefits of placemaking are wide-ranging, including health, economic, environmental and community. Examples of placemaking include events, open streets and neighborhood parks.

Learning Objectives:
1. Attendees will learn the definition of placemaking.
2. Attendees will learn benefits of placemaking in their community.
3. Attendees will learn how to add placemaking to their park and recreation programs.
