Beautiful new placemaking resource from the #PlacemakingCanada community. Very timely as Canadian placemaking leaders are generously hosting our June #GlobalPlacemakingSummit in Toronto. A decade after the first Placemaking Canada report and convening, this extensive document helps establish and define how far the community has come and establishes key background from which the Summit conversation can build. "Let's Talk About Placemaking is a new magazine-like publication developed collaboratively by Canada’s Placemaking Community, the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI), PlacemakingUS, and a range of leading practitioners across Canada and internationally. It’s a visually rich resource that provides a comprehensive look at the value created by contemporary placemaking in Canada." Grateful to placemaking leaders Madeleine Spencer, Bridget MacIntosh, Jacquelyn West, Mary W. Rowe and others for so thoughtfully putting this together.

Placemaking School JAX was a reminder of something so powerful: we are all already placemakers. We each already have everything we need to shape our cities in ways that reflect us. The energy in that room, the wisdom shared, and the connections that are still being made reaffirmed that this work has always belonged to the people and always will ?? I’m truly so grateful to have been part of this conversation, to share and connect with others around placekeeping, and to witness so many brilliant minds coming together to reimagine what’s possible and what’s next. Keep your eyes on Jacksonville- they are going to be creating the blueprint for how to do this work moving forward. Thanks again to Kady Yellow, Honey Holzendorf, Ryan Smolar, Jeff Siegler for pumping up the room and myself full of inspiration and energy to keep doing to good work we all need to keep doing!! ??
Still buzzing from the experience at Placemaking JAX ?? What a truly magical and unforgettable experience! Huge shoutout to Kady Yellow for bringing together such an inspiring gathering of people who are ready to make a difference. It was an absolute honor to present alongside such esteemed guests like Fred Kent (Social Life Project), Nathan Storring (Project for Public Spaces) Ryan Smolar (PlacemakingUS) and Jeff Siegler ? Special shout out to Ms. Cookie (The owner of the Avenue Grill) and Honey Holzendorf whose wisdom, stories, and presence filled the room with the kind of energy and inspiration that reminded us exactly why this work matters. This kind of a space was truly powerful and special. It’s the proof of what happens when you do things right and I hope to see more of this EVERYWHERE!

So Long and Thanks for All the Doodles! We were lucky to bring Coté Soerens out to Los Angeles to work with James Rojas in the Pico-Union neighborhood with The Pico Union Project an United Way of Greater Los Angeles. #placemaking
I never get tired to witness how powerful doodles can be in a process of social change. Last Saturday my friend Madeleine Spencer from PlacemakingUS invited me and others to take part in this community-led workshop imagining an ideal neighborhood in Pico Union. I went as a visual facilitator. Instead of charts and surveys, we used doodles and blocks to help folks draw from their childhood memories to imagine their ideal neighborhood and get dreaming. If we are living through turbulent times, visual notetaking continues to be my weapon of choice in building better futures. Here is why: ??? 1. It builds a larger table. Visual notetaking brings people with different education levels, language ability, or learning styles into the conversation. Research shows that incorporating visual elements improves engagement and comprehension among diverse learners, making complex ideas more accessible and equipping more people to contribute meaningfully. Suddenly, the table becomes larger. ???? 2. It unlocks empathy. We show up at meetings prepared to use our frontal cortex, ready to talk logic, data, and strategy. Visuals open up the emotional and social areas of the brain fostering empathy and deeper connections. The result? More fun. More connection. More human conversations. ?? 3. It makes all voices visible. In community discussions, some perspectives naturally get more airtime. Visual notetaking subverts this by giving visual weight to every comment. When participants see their ideas reflected visually, it communicates that they matter, invreasing participation, mutual accountability, and trust. Visual notetaking doesn’t just record conversations; it reshapes them. It democratizes ideas. It builds trust. It transforms dialogue into shared understanding. ?? Have you experienced a moment where a visual changed the conversation? I’d love to hear how visual storytelling has impacted your work. #VisualThinking #SocialChange #GraphicRecording #Inclusion #CommunityEngagement #EmpathyInDesign #VisualStorytelling
