Crowdsourced Placemaking

We go nowhere without community support…

• 24/7 participation online, monthly meetings. Not just charrettes. • 24/7 idea generation and upvoting of ideas. Not just focus groups and

community meetings. • First-name basis with 100s of people. Not just with committee heads.

• Community involvement in major features of the plan. Not just surveys.

• Crowdfunding assistance to local businesses. Not just Facebook Likes. • Community campaigns for leasing Letters of Intent. Not just emails. • Demonstration events people can experience. Not just pretty renderings.

• Collective impact involving everyone. Not just isolated impact with select few.

This isn’t your father’s public engagement
