March Session: Place Governance

Rescheduled: Tuesday, March 2, 2021

Due to scheduling challenges, we pushed our Place Governance session -originally planned for February 2nd- back to March 2nd, 2021. Apologies for any inconveniences!

In this session, we will examine the role of public administration, private parties, and third sector organizations in the management of different types of public places. We will discuss dynamics of interdependence and collaboration among stakeholders, explore some techniques to foster coordination and collaboration among parties within the governance structure, and talk about the importance of relying on a cohesive stakeholder engagement plan to maximize the benefits of placemaking including different funding models.
