Posted August 10, 20186 yr Here's a thread to share news and ideas about placemaking, which can be a powerful economic development tool and quality of life feature. I'll start it off with this..... @Resonanceco More great #placemaking by @downtownvan with the launch of Ackers Alley in #Vancouver last night – an interactive light and sound experience. https://goo.gl/Yqo54Q "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

August 13, 20186 yr Author If you haven’t heard about #Barcelona’s remarkable “Superblocks,” transforming whole blocks of streets into wonderful, diverse people-places, drop everything & immediately watch this great 2 minute Streetfilms short film.

October 18, 20186 yr Thanks @KJPfor the clip . Barcelona is one of my favorite places with lots of great architecture and innovative planning from the 19th & 20th centuries. Rather than constantly chase verticallity with tall skyscrapers, I'd much rather see American cities work toward walkable density with a bit more human scale like they there. Blasphemy, I know.
