Public art and culture resonate with people at a deeper level, and help to form powerful attachments to PLACE.
Reflect on Here by Broken City Lab, Windsor, ON Placemaking The VMC will be a destination of choice, reflecting the City’s diversity, growth and emergence as an urban centre. Public art and cultural development will work to create extraordinary experiences in the VMC and enhance the sense of place. Together, the cultural framework and public art policy will be key drivers in the creative economy and will advance economic development in Vaughan’s new downtown.
