This book offers a significant contribution to the history of placemaking, presenting grassroots to top-down practices and socially engaged, situated artistic practices and arts-led spatial inquiry that go beyond instrumentalising the arts for development.

It brings together a range of scholars to critique and deconstruct the notion of creative placemaking, presenting diverse case studies from researcher, practitioner, funder and policy-maker perspectives, from across the globe. It opens with the creators of the 2010 White Paper that named and defined creative placemaking, Ann Markusen and Anne Gadwa Nicodemus, who offer a cortically reflexive narrative on the founding of the sector and its development. This book looks at vernacular creativity in place, a topic continued through the book with its focus on the practitioner and community-placed projects. It closes with a consideration of aesthetics, metrics and from the editors, a consideration of the next ten years for the sector.

If creative placemaking is to contribute to places-in-the-making and encourage citizen-led agency, new conceptual frameworks and practical methodologies are required - this book joins theorists and practitioners in dialogue, advocating for transdisciplinary, resilient processes.
