  • What Is “Creative Placemaking”?
    What is “Creative Placemaking”? The term “creative placemaking” is used commonly in community development and city/urban planning. But what does it really mean? How will you know it when you see it? Creative Placemaking is generally understood as the use of arts and culture by diverse partners to strategically shape the physical and social character of a place in order to spur economic development, promote enduring social change and improve the physical environment.1 1. Use of arts and culture. This could involve a painter, musician, sculptor, historian, architect – or any other expression of “arts and culture”. The project could be many things including a mural, a street carnival, busker musicians on a street corner, or a public art sculpture about the place’s history. Artists are involved in the planning, execution and activity. 2. Diverse partners. Contributors to projects might include neighborhood residents, businesses, non-profits, churches, government agencies, etc. Diverse partners who invest time, talent and/or financial support will strengthen the project and take greater ownership in its maintenance and stewardship long-term. 3. Shape a place. The combination of arts, culture, and diverse partners can convert an under-utilized place and make it something useful, safe, beautiful and vibrant. 4. To spur, promote and improve. Whether the project is big or small, low-budget or very expensive, successful creative placemaking projects attract people. People want to be near other people. Places that attract people also attract new

  • Gentrification, Displacement & Creative Placemaking
    Gentrification, Displacement & Creative Placemaking: Evaluation Methods for Nonprofit Arts and Cultural Organizations by Grace Komarek-Meyer [email protected] Capstone Research Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master of Nonprofit Administration Degree in the School of Management directed by Dr. Marco Tavanti San Francisco, California Summer 2019 1 Abstract Gentrification, Displacement & Creative Placemaking: Evaluation Methods for Nonprofit Arts and Cultural Organizations focuses on the cultural strategies of creative placemaking projects, the role of the nonprofit organization in combating gentrification and displacement, and the task of evaluation and measurement program impact of creative placemaking projects. The first section of this report contains a literature review that is divided into two main focuses: (1) the history, context, and research of gentrification and displacement, and (2) Creative Placemaking and cultural strategies to support community development and resist the negative effects of gentrification and displacement for community members, neighbors, and key stakeholder groups. The second section of this report contains primary data collected in the form of three expert interviews with nonprofit arts and cultural organizations and one urban planning professional. The final component of this report consists of a set of recommendations for nonprofit arts and cultural organizations to take into consideration when carrying out various creative placemaking projects. 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank my fellow cohort members in the Masters of Nonprofit Administration program at the University of San Francisco’s School of Management for their continued support and generosity over the past year and a half. I have learned so much from each and every one of you, and am excited to see the amazing things that you all do with your careers with the unique knowledge, skills, and perspectives you all bring to the nonprofit sector.

    Can public procurement aid the implementation of smart specialization strategies? Jon Mikel Zabala-Iturriagagoitiaa*, Edurne Magrob, Elvira Uyarrac, Kieron Flanaganc a.- Deusto Business School, University of Deusto, Donostia-San Sebastian (Spain) b.- Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness, University of Deusto, Donostia-San Sebastian (Spain) c.- Manchester Institute of Innovation Research, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, Manchester (United Kingdom) * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract In recent decades sub-national regions have become ever more important as spaces for policy making. The current focus on research and innovation for smart specialisation strategies is the latest manifestation of this trend. By putting PPI processes at the core of regional and local development initiatives to support innovation, governments can go beyond priority setting to become active stakeholders engaged in entrepreneurial discovery processes. In this paper we offer a new conceptualization of how such smart specialisation strategies, as an example of a sub- national innovation policy, can help articulate demand for innovation. The paper presents an evolutionary framework that relates regional specialisation processes with the scale and scope of the demand associated to that specialisation. We identify four different roles for governments to be played, depending on the availability of local capabilities and the scale of the chosen priorities: government as a lead user, government as an innovation catalyst,

    Transit Planning Practice in the Age of Transit-Oriented Development By Ian Robinson Carlton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City & Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Daniel Chatman, Chair Professor Robert Cervero Professor Dwight Jaffee Fall 2013 © Copyright by Ian Robinson Carlton 2013 All Rights Reserved Abstract Transit Planning Practice in the Age of Transit-Oriented Development by Ian Robinson Carlton Doctor of Philosophy in City & Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Daniel Chatman, Chair Globally, urban development near transit stations has long been understood to be critical to transit’s success primarily because it can contribute to ridership and improve the efficiency of transit investments. In the United States in particular, fixed-guideway transit’s land use-shaping capability has been an important justification and goal for transit investment. In fact, today’s U.S. federal funding policies increasingly focus on achieving transit-oriented real estate development near new transit infrastructure. However, the widespread implementation of transit and land use coordination practices has been considered an uphill battle. The academic literature suggests the most effective practice may be for U.S. transit planners to locate transit stations where pre-existing conditions are advantageous for real estate development or transit investments can generate the political will to dramatically alter local conditions to make them amenable to real estate development. However, prior to this study, no research had investigated the influence of real estate development considerations on U.S.

  • Sarah Fox, Environmental Gentrification
    9. FOX_ (DO NOT DELETE) 4/10/2019 11:45 AM ENVIRONMENTAL GENTRIFICATION SARAH FOX* Gentrification is a term often used, much maligned, and dif- ficult to define. A few general principles can nonetheless be distilled regarding the concept. First, gentrification is spur- red by rising desirability of an area for housing or commer- cial purposes. Second, this rising desirability, following ba- sic supply-and-demand principles, leads to higher property values and rents in an uncontrolled market. Third, gentrifi- cation leads to a shift in the demographics of a neighbor- hood. This shift can change not only the socioeconomic and racial composition of the area but also the community’s char- acter, as residential and commercial options begin to reflect the preferences of the new arrivals to the neighborhood. Much has been written and discussed about the nature of gentrification and its impacts on communities. Less has appeared in the legal literature focusing on one specific cat- alyst for gentrification—improvements to the environment. Environmental gentrification is a term used by social scien- tists to refer to the process by which environmental cleanups, or other improvements to environmental health, spur the cy- cle of gentrification. Where land or waterways have been con- taminated, cleanup of those resources often leads to renewed interest in the surrounding areas by developers and more af- fluent tenants and homebuyers. This is particularly the case in urban areas where the quantity of usable land is limited. In such areas, environmental contamination may have long contributed to depressing property values below what the market would otherwise support; removal of that contamina- * Assistant Professor of Law, Northern Illinois University College of Law.

  • Smart Growth Guide
    LOCAL GOVERNMENT CLIMATE AND ENERGY STRATEGY SERIES Smart Growth A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reductions Programs Community Planning and Design U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2011 EPA’s Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series The Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series provides a comprehensive, straightforward overview of green- house gas (GHG) emissions reduction strategies for local governments. Topics include energy efficiency, transportation, community planning and design, solid waste and materials management, and renewable energy. City, county, territorial, tribal, and regional government staff, and elected officials can use these guides to plan, implement, and evaluate their climate change mitigation and energy projects. Each guide provides an overview of project benefits, policy mechanisms, investments, key stakeholders, and other imple- mentation considerations. Examples and case studies highlighting achievable results from programs implemented in communities across the United States are incorporated throughout the guides. While each guide stands on its own, the entire series contains many interrelated strategies that can be combined to create comprehensive, cost-effective programs that generate multiple benefits. For example, efforts to improve energy efficiency can be combined with transportation and community planning programs to reduce GHG emissions, decrease energy and transportation costs, improve air quality and public health, and enhance quality of life.
