About this badge

More than ever before, successful economic development and talent attraction and retention are tied to quality of place. Simply put, communities must be creative and authentic. A recent Gallup poll of more than 40,000 US residents found that three main qualities attach individuals to place: social offerings, openness, and aesthetics. Effective, creative placemaking and urban design—from physical development and space use to on-the-street programming—take each of these factors into account. This four-week hybrid online course will provide an overview of the latest best practices and approaches for creative placemaking, including neighborhood revitalization, public and green space use, and street-level programming.
