Strategic consultancy for culture-led regeneration of towns and cities.
Placemaking is the strategic partnering of local stakeholders to shape the neighbourhood, town or city in which they live and work. This work strengthens the relationships between those involved and creates places that are considered and curated by design of their physical and social character. They are places that are agile but reactionary.
Our consultancy offer
Our placemaking consultancy helps provide skills, development and workspace provision to artists at all levels, nationally, whilst putting them at the centre of communities. We strategically advocate for artists through a place-based approach with local authorities, developers, asset owners and policy makers.
This culture-led approach to regeneration places art at the centre of development initiatives creating joined-up thinking among all relevant stakeholders to help communities thrive and breathe life into high streets and other neglected areas.
Increasingly, the need to re-imagine and redevelop our towns and cities in a post-retail context has become a huge area for debate and action. We bring cultural activism to that debate.
Our experience
Through our extensive knowledge of meanwhile workspace provision we are well placed to deliver art-focused, urban regeneration initiatives. Repurposing buildings and recreating value in places of decline through working with artists we are able to drive inclusive growth, social and economic benefits.
We are involved in a number of place-based initiatives across the UK that work strategically to regenerate urban environments and advocate for artists’ resilience and sustainability.
