Placemaking: Smart Growth And The Arts

Artists need places and places need artists — how the arts and smart growth can work together.

Contributed by Bill Fulton

The arts have become a focal point for community building, while the smart growth movement has become a focal point for creating better places. In a new paper prepared for Grantmakers In the Arts and the Funders Network for Smart Growth, Solimar researchers William Fulton and Morris Newman discuss the role each plays in building communities and the potential they have to work together to this end. Their conclusion: The arts and smart growth can learn from each other and build a more powerful sense of community-whether community of interest or community of place-if they work together.
