Policy and Process Framework for Equitable Placemaking

Abstract

This report serves as FTA TOD Planning Grant deliverable 1A-3, a Policy and Process Framework for Equitable Placemaking. It introduces key ways arts-and-culture interventions can help achieve TOD planning goals under this grant, which align with the Purple Line Corridor Coalition’s (PLCC’s) defined fourth priority outlined in the 2017 Community Development Agreement: “Vibrant and sustainable communities enhance health, culture, and a sense of place.” The report outlines how PLCC, leveraging its partnerships with communities, public agencies, and faculty and student design capacity within the University of Maryland, can support future creative placemaking work along the Purple Line corridor in ways that reflect and fortify the strong identities of the neighborhoods along the line.
