Cultural Placemaking Strategy
2020-2021
As the software of our towns and cities, communities are the life blood of place. This century’s first quarter has seen the rise of ‘community’ as the key place asset to embrace. Artists and cultural organisations have long been leaders in social engagement, nurturing our innate creativity to co-create new models for living and working.
Capturing thousands of staff and passenger stories at Heathrow to transform BAA’s understanding of place, and co-creating a new sense of community with the hundreds of new residents at Great Kneighton, are just two examples of Futurecity’s approach to working with communities to drive change and secure long-term placemaking goals.
