Getting Started with Creative Placemaking
By Steve Davis
Transportation for America is an alliance of elected, business and civic leaders from communities across the country, united to ensure that states and the federal government step up to invest in smart, homegrown, locally-driven transportation solutions — because these are the investments that hold the key to our future economic prosperity.
This report was made possible through the generous support of the Kresge Foundation.
The Kresge Foundation “focuses on the role arts and culture play in re-energizing the communities that have long been central to America’s social and economic life,” believing that “arts and culture are an integral part of life and, when embedded in cross-sector revitalization activity, can contribute to positive and enduring economic, physical, social and cultural change in communities.” Kresge also supported projects detailed in this report in Nashville, Portland, San Diego and Detroit.

Visit our new updated, refreshed, and re-conceived version of The Scenic Route at http://transportation.art. It’s been wholly reorganized around the eight ways that artists most often help contribute to projects, features nearly 50 updated or brand new case studies, and chronicles five-plus years of Smart Growth America/Transportation for America work in this field since the first edition was published in 2016. Don’t miss it!
This older Scenic Route guide (v. 1.0) will be retired in 2021, though still available for archival purposes.
