Communities of Practice Collaborative Project

Valuing creative place making: Development of a toolkit for public and private stakeholders: Dr Michael Cohen, A/Professor Thayaparan Gajendran, Dr Justine Lloyd, Dr Kim Maund, Dr Cathy Smith 2018

The literature review is the first phase of research for the Communities of Practice Collaborative Learning project with Landcom, the University of Newcastle, Macquarie University, the University of New South Wales and City People

and is entitled Valuing creative place making: development of a toolkit for public and private stakeholders. The project acknowledges that there are few published methodologies which capture the precise economic and social value of

creative placemaking activities. To provide a comprehensive review of current methodologies and best practices,

both scholarly and ‘grey ‘ literature sources were analysed from a wide range of disciplines, including arts and humanities, social sciences, architecture and urbanism, geography, business, architecture and planning.
