“Placemaking” is a planning and design approach to shaping public spaces and places that meet local needs, aspirations, desires, and visions. During this December discussion leading practitioners in the field will share how peer communities are successfully deploying placemaking concepts to grow their economies, attract new business, and encourage greater levels of civic engagement. Join in on a facilitated community conversation around how placemaking might shape existing and future investments within Dupont Circle and throughout ANC 2B.
