IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HAPPY CITIES & The canadian urban institute
Building the Case for Placemaking: What Is It and Why Does It Matter?
hosted by Mitchell Reardon & Mary Rowe
This 75-minute session, hosted by Mitchell Reardon from Happy Cities and Mary Rowe from City the Canadian Urban Institute, delves into the well-being impacts of cultivating spaces for public engagement and asks: What are we learning from our experiences over the past number of years? Is there a super-power in community-driven change? How can we build support for these incredible efforts?
Featuring practitioners from across the country, this conversation offers an opportunity to hear from people doing the work about the role of public space and digital placemaking interventions in cultivating healthy, inclusive, and resilient communities
