Placemaking Week

Attendees will learn how to enhance placemaking efforts in their own communities through collective impact - collaboration, data-based public value proposition, and collectively shared visions of success. The session will highlight projects recognized by the Rudy Brunner Excellence Awards, which has been recognizing excellence in urban design since 1971. Attendees will experience one of the 2019 award finalists, Sulphur Springs, Texas, via a video program and trip inside the famed one-way glass bathroom. By taking the tools provided in this session and actively applying them at home, the placemakers who attend will be empowered to have a greater impact and enhanced outreach in communities of all scales across the country
