  • 2013 CL&P Award Winner View the June 10, 2013 Awards
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Special Recognition: Kip Bergstrom, Deputy Commissioner State Dept. of Economic & Community Development “The Troubadour of Placemaking” What is creative placemaking? The Connecticut Office of the Arts feels that, simply said, “creative placemaking is creating cities, towns and villages where people want to come to live, to work, to play and to learn.” Merriam-Webster Dictionary Defines “Troubadour”: “One of a class of lyric poets that flourished from the 11th through the 13th centuries. Favored at courts, troubadours had great freedom of speech and were charged with creating an aura of pleasant cultivation.” Since his arrival at DECD, Kip Bergstrom has traversed the State, expounding on the benefits of creating interesting and creative places on the community level. 12 Kip Bergstrom is leading a statewide discussion that blends planning, design, the natural environment, arts, history, culture, tourism, and economic development – into a phenomenon that results in unique and memorable places. Since his State appointment in 2011, Creative Placemaking initiatives have launched in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, Stamford, New London, New Britain, Waterbury, Torrington and other places.
