Jenny Leis will be talking about placemaking, how to build places where community can happen right in the hearts of our neighborhoods.

Placemaking means creating a shared vision based on a community’s needs and assets, culture and history, common interests and shared vision, local climate and topography. Placemaking is as much about psychological ownership and reclamation of space as it is about physically building a place. In a context of isolation in our neighborhoods, placemaking is a reminder that we share common interests and the power to manifest them. Great places are created by people who use them.

Copies of the new edition of City Repair's PlaceMaking Guide will be available for purchase.
