Is this Placemaking? Some would say yes… / Photo: Brendan Crain “People develop, not places.” So writes Jim Russell in a recent post over at Burgh Diaspora, in arguing that cities are wasting their money on Placemaking when they should be focusing more directly on talent development. In his view, widely held these days, Placemaking is about plunking down “cool urban amenities” and increasing token diversity to make a city seem edgy or superficially interesting.
That’s not what Placemaking is. Context (the size of a site, its location within the city, its present configuration) gives the people who choose to participate in a Placemaking process a universally agreed-upon starting point. For hard evidence of this, look to Tokyo. In his critique of Placemaking, Russell looks a bit closer to home, at Detroit. There’s a disconnect here that bothers me: in so much of the contemporary mainstream discussion of Placemaking, the signifier has become the signified. Opportunity is Local (Or: You Can’t Buy a New Economy) Pittsburgh’s brand may be rusty, but like every city, it has its bright spots / Photo: Brendan Crain “At the heart of my argument,” writes Jim Russell in his response to last Wednesday’s blog post, “is the fact that [Placemaking] initiatives are intrinsically place-centric. Instead of place-centrism, I’m looking at talent migration through a lens of people-centrism…I’m convinced that placemaking is useful, but not for talent attraction/retention.
People move for purposes of personal economic development.” Focusing on talent attraction and retention is what leads to gentrification, the phenomena that people who voice concerns about Placemaking are most often trying to avoid. There is an oft-voiced belief today that there is a finite amount of talent and creativity available in the world, and that cities must compete to draw creative people away from rival communities in order to thrive. “The best cities are actually federations of great neighborhoods.” — Jane Jacobs / Photo: Brendan Crain.
