Nonprofits use creative placemaking to catalyze social capital and weave neighborhood connections

Citizen-led revitalization efforts have an important place in the community development and public safety sector. Small-scale efforts involving nonprofits can engage communities in planning processes and include marginalized voices that otherwise might not be considered. A strategy for accomplishing this is creative placemaking, which “emphasizes community engagement to strengthen connections between people and place by reshaping the public realm to maximize shared value.”

With community-based participation, the placemaking process capitalizes on local community assets and potential, and results in the creation of quality public spaces that contribute to people’s health, happiness, and well being. Social Solutions can help your  organization locate community assets to strengthen your outreach efforts
