Hardback. Condizione: New. In the wake of the Great Recession, American cities from Philadelphia to San Diego saw an upsurge in hyperlocal placemaking--small-scale interventions aimed at encouraging greater equity and community engagement in growth and renewal. But the projects that were the most successful at achieving these lofty ambitions weren't usually established by politicians, urban planners, or real estate developers; they were initiated by community activists, artists, and neighbors. In order to figure out why, The City Creative mounts a comprehensive study of placemaking in urban America, tracing its intellectual history and contrasting it with the efforts of people making positive change in their communities today. Spanning the 1950s to the post-recession 2010s, The City Creative highlights the roles of such prominent individuals and organizations as Jane Jacobs, Christopher Alexander, Richard Sennett, Project for Public Spaces, and the National Endowment for the Arts in the development of urban placemaking, both in the abstract and on the ground. But that's only half the story. Bringing the narrative to the present, Michael H. Carriere and David Schalliol also detail placemaking interventions at more than 200 sites in more than 40 cities, combining archival research, interviews, participant observation, and Schalliol's powerful documentary photography. Carriere and Schalliol find that while these formal and informal placemaking interventions can bridge local community development and regional economic plans, more often than not, they push the boundaries of mainstream placemaking. Rather than simply stressing sociability or market-driven economic development, these initiatives offer an alternative model of community-led progress with the potential to redistribute valuable resources while producing tangible and intangible benefits for their communities. The City Creative provides a kaleidoscopic overview of how these initiatives grow, and sometimes collapse, illustrating the centrality of placemaking in the evolution of the American city and how it can be reoriented to meet demands for a more equitable future.

Book is clean and bright throughout, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. In a bright, untorn dust jacket. -- The City Creative explores the grassroots evolution of "creative placemaking", detailing how community activists and artists - rather than just urban planners - have transformed struggling American cities since the post-war era. The work uses a multidisciplinary lens to examine selected case studies, advocating for a model of urban renewal that is community-led and equitable. The book highlights how residents in legacy cities have used small-scale interventions and cultural projects to spark growth and vitality. It critiques traditional, market-driven placemaking that often leads to displacement, instead proposing a holistic and redistributive vision that focuses on both tangible community benefits and intangible social identity. By documenting these efforts, the authors illustrate how placemaking can be reoriented to meet modern demands for racial justice and inclusive urban life. While focused on America, the book offers a persuasive history of creative placemaking from the postwar period through the aftermath of the Great Recession, providing participatory design insights that can be applied to wider urban contexts. -- Michael H. Carriere is an associate professor at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, where he teaches American history, public policy, and urban design. David Schalliol is an associate professor of sociology at St. Olaf College and a renowned photographer whose work has appeared in The New York Times and at the Chicago Architecture Biennial.
