| Winnipeg building mural and frontage - missed opportunity |
I get great ideas from friends. Here is one.
Walking around Winnipeg Manitoba this past weekend a friend pointed out the irony of this building mural. The beauty of the former building front on the mural; the sad reality of failed expectations on the actual building front.
The idea of placemaking has made regular appearances on this blog. Placemaking is about creating positive social life in public places. How does one do that?
The fellow who pointed out the irony of the Winnipeg mural was Gerry Cleveland, my colleague and co-creator of 2nd Generation CPTED. Second Generation CPTED promotes placemaking by activating residents, getting them involved, helping them learn how to take action and teaching basic organizing skills. That's the future.
