Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Cultural Mapping and Cultural Planning Toolkits Now Available

2010 Legacies Now and the Creative City Network of Canada have developed two new resources to assist local governments, as well as arts, cultural and heritage organizations, plan for the future.

The Cultural Mapping Toolkit has been designed to take you through the entire mapping process, from creating an inventory of cultural resources to drawing and presenting your map. Examples, checklists and worksheets are included to help you along the way.

The Cultural Planning Toolkit is a guide to assist with strategic thinking, decision-making and community consultation as you go through the cultural planning process. It includes an adaptable model and practical checklists to help you create and implement a viable plan.

Click here for access. The 2010 Legacies Now also has a nice publication on event planning, called Celebrations. I've added links to these publications in the Arts-Creative Class section of links in the right sidebar.

The publications are straightforward and thorough.
