Placemaking Chicago Video

This video does a pretty good job explaining more about the concept of placemaking within a neighborhood. The most striking thing I take away from the video is the suggestion that you can start very small. Often times the concept of "Placemaking" is in the context of planners and permits and organizational action. But there are so many small projects that just one person can do to improve their neighborhood. And you don't always need to ask permission - you'd be surprised to find out that people would be excited and appreciative to see change on their street - no one is going to call the police on you...I promise.
