“Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.”–- Winston Churchill
Neighborhoods, cities and regions are awakening to the importance of ― place in economic development. They are planning for a future that recognizes the critical importance of quality of life to attractingtalent, entrepreneurship and encouraging local businesses. Competing for success in a global marketplace means creating places where workers, entrepreneurs, and businesses want to locate, invest and expand.
This work has been described as a ―sense of place, or place-based economic development, or simply ― placemaking. Economic development and community development are two sides of the same coin. A community without place amenities will have a difficult time attracting and retaining talented workers and entrepreneurs, or being attractive to business.
