The Healthy Communities Initiative is partnering with Happy Cities to explore the Power of Placemaking. Join us over the next few months to share your experiences, reflections, and lessons-learned through a series of sense-making sessions:
Thursday, July 20 from 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. -11:30 a.m. PT
This session will cover urban activation events, such as markets, festivals, open streets, and art murals. It will also include conversation around activating transportation, community hubs, and community equity. We will discuss how urban activation events are valuable to communities and how placemaking through activation events impacts communities. We will discuss placemaking activations and the role they play in social connection and wellbeing.
