"Placemaking: the Art of Building your Community"
Places are complex and dynamic systems; geographic places are complex organisms made-up of an interrelated system of values and activities that extend far beyond the domain of a particular disciplinary interest such as water, transportation, land use or economic development.For economic renewal to occur, community character and the environment itself must be considered; long-term stewardship of community resources must be taken into account; self-reliance and a more democratic approach to decision-making must go hand in hand with stressing diversity, and a conviction that many small efforts work better than a single one-size-fits-all solution.Thus, a further understanding of the importance of civic engagement and participation processes enables placemakers to draw on the collective wisdom, creativity and experience of those involved in order to build better communities.As an applied anthropologist actively involved in community tourism development projects in Canada and the United States, Great Excursions CEO Claude-Jean Harel provides first hand experience of the conditions required for effective placemaking and of the ways to create the right community environment for it to occur.
