THE STRATEGIC APPROACH
Placemaking is built on foundations of understanding our built assets and shared spaces in their entirety. By using consultancy Village Well’s ‘5 Ps of place-based placemaking: place, people, planet, product, and programs, we will evaluate where and how our places are acquired, developed, maintained, supported and perform. By integrating place-based thinking, resourcing and approaches, and a model of empowerment our housing initiatives will be responsive, sustainable, and beneficial to residents and the broader community long term. Our placemaking strategy is a guide for Housing Choices, our partners and stakeholders to ensure we put people and place first, empower residents, create loved and cared-for places, and measure and demonstrate impact.
