View MoreEsther Haverkort, programmamanager #UrbanPractice van de Hogeschool van Amsterdam, oriënteert zich momenteel in samenwerking met de gemeente Amsterdam op de mogelijkheden voor het stroomlijnen van studentenopdrachten in Amsterdam. Van water passerende bestrating, bewegend leren op basisscholen tot het onderzoeken van nieuwe peer-to-peer methodiek in jongerenwerk. Amsterdam is voor veel studenten een interessante leer- en onderzoeksomgeving. Maar wat dragen deze onderzoeken nu precies bij aan de stad? En hoe krijg je het overzicht van wat er allemaal aan kennis wordt vergaard? #hva

Het opstellen van een beleidsdocument of wenkend ontwikkelingsperspectief is een mooi begin, maar zorgt nog niet voor de gewenste invulling van panden. your STORY, your SPACE is een innovatieve manier om in contact te komen met ondernemers. Het is een aanpak waarbij ondernemers (in spé) komen sparren en in contact komen met experts die hen verder helpen. #gebiedsbranding #placemaking #placeattachment #placebranding https://www.seinpost.com/artikelen/zicht-op-kansen-door-your-story-your-space

Agile adaptive approach to place making and planning?
LQC projects consist of short-term improvements and programs that require a short timeline and a small budget, and can be easily undone. LQC projects are an opportunity to test ideas that will help implement the community’s Place Vision for their public space.
LQC projects can take many forms, requiring varying degrees of time, money, and effort, such as:
Amenities.
From flexible seating to book and game kiosks to planters of petunias to rotating public art, amenities provide a low-cost means to add activity and comfort to a space.
Programming.
Regular events can build momentum, showcase local talent, and build new partnerships. While one-off events cannot take the place of ongoing programming, they can help test new ideas and adapt the community vision.
Light Development.
Temporary structures can provide an alternative to capital-intensive construction. Existing buildings can be given a facelift, while sheds, vending carts, shipping containers, and tensile structures can enable new uses, forge an identity, and attract additional investment

placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of every community. Strengthening the connection between people and the places they share, placemaking refers to a collaborative process by which we can shape our public realm in order to maximize shared value. More than just promoting better urban design, placemaking facilitates creative patterns of use, paying particular attention to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place and support its ongoing evolution.
With community-based participation at its center, an effective placemaking process capitalizes on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, and it results in the creation of quality public spaces that contribute to people's health, happiness, and well being.
#Placemaking is not a new idea. Although PPS began consistently using the term "placemaking" in the mid-1990s to describe our approach, some of the thinking behind Placemaking gained traction in the 1960s, when PPS mentors like Jane Jacobs and William H. Whyte introduced groundbreaking ideas about designing cities for people, not just cars and shopping centers. Their work focuses on the social and cultural importance of lively neighborhoods and inviting public spaces: Jacobs encouraged everyday citizens to take ownership of streets through the now-famous idea of “eyes on the street,” while Holly Whyte outlined key elements for creating vibrant social life in public spaces. Applying the wisdom of these (and other) urban pioneers, since 1975 PPS has gradually developed a comprehensive Placemaking approach. https://www.pps.org/article/what-is-placemaking
