Editor's Notes
- #10: Q1. Placemaking interventions are organically and necessarily about a system … but measurement often requires disentangling the contributions of multiple factors/agents in order to say something about causality How do we say something about causality when we KNOW that placemaking operates w/in a complex system? How do we communicate effectively about impact, when we may not be able to boil impact down to a single sentence? Q2. Denver baseline study is a powerful example of how measurement work can also inform design directly How present is the “development evaluation” paradigm in placemaking? Can evaluation be a tool for deeply engaging community? Q3 How do we effectively communicate that social impact is just as important as economic impact when discussing the role of creative placemaking in developing healthy communities?
