The Economic/Social Importance of Placemaking

I posted this in the Canada section but it didn't generate any interesting conversations - so I thought I would try it here.

We recently hosted an American expert, Doctor Katherine Loflin. She was brought here by Happy City St. John's, our foremost citizen engagement organization.

I think her presentation is brilliant - and she the little tidbits she drops are fascinating. For example, if you increase social activity, you see same-year increases in citizens' attachment to their community. It's one of the most responsive things they measure.

So, please, have a look at this presentation, and let me know what you think of her points!

It is for ACL Fest, but it is one of the best videos I've seen showing various parts of Austin and different things we enjoy doing around town like Barton Springs, the Bats and such.

Melbourne is a new world city, it has a modern grid much like a typical American metropolis. Naysayers who do not believe a city can be radically transformed say that the already narrow streets of many European cities make it easier to have good pedestrian environments there. Melbourne proves that isn't necessarily so.

Hello Lamp Post is an experimental, city-wide platform for play. This is an opportunity to rediscover your local environment, share your memories of the city and uncover the stories that other people leave behind.
