The question “Where does my community like to gather?” is where creative placemaking begins. There are almost always places and spaces for gathering. A local park, waterway, church, school, or even a street corner counts. By figuring out those spaces first, you’ll have an easier time finding and then engaging with your community.
It’s also important to take note of all of the physical assets and the community events that contribute to local culture. Asset mapping helps to draw connection points between people, places, and events. Here are some tools to get you started.
