Jun 19On March 14th, Project for Public Spaces (PPS) hosted a 2 day workshop in the Gettys Courtroom, where RHEDC, community members, Placemaking team members, and city staff came together to identify placemaking opportunities in Knowledge Park. We participated in several group exercises, did a walking tour of downtown, and created concept placemaking maps for 5 specific locations. PPS then created a Placemaking Master Plan in the following weeks, designed to activate underutilized spaces in Knowledge Park that will attract knowledge workers, businesses, residents, and visitors.

As Knowledge Park planning and implementation grow it will be useful to deliberately tie the word, "Knowledge" to as many facets of the experience as possible helping people grasp the concept of Knowledge Park as being much more than an outline of a geographical space.
