Abstract

There is a gradual but profound shift underway within the urban revitalization landscape that calls for continuing innovation within the community development sector. That shift is toward an increasingly influential investment approach that we now describe as urban place-making. This approach has gained support as a method of stimulating increased economic growth and encouraging more affluent residents to relocate into the urban core. Unfortunately, too few of these typically large-scale investments are now designed with principles of equitable development in mind.
