This book makes a significant contribution to the history of
placemaking, presenting grassroots to top-down practices and
socially engaged, situated artistic practices and artsled spatial
inquiry that go beyond instrumentalising the arts for development.
The book brings together a range of scholars to critique and
deconstruct the notion of creative placemaking, presenting diverse
case studies from researcher, practitioner, funder and policymaker
perspectives from across the globe. It opens with the creators of
the 2010 White Paper that named and defined creative placemaking,
Ann Markusen and Anne Gadwa Nicodemus, who offer a cortically
reflexive narrative on the founding of the sector and its
development. This book looks at vernacular creativity in place, a
topic continued through the book with its focus on the practitioner
and community-placed projects. It closes with a consideration of
aesthetics, metrics and, from the editors, a consideration of the
next ten years for the sector. If creative placemaking is to
contribute to places-in-the-making and encourage citizenled agency,
new conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies are required.
This book joins theorists and practitioners in dialogue, advocating
for transdisciplinary, resilient processes.
