Michigan leads the national movement for "placemaking." Downtowns, neighborhoods, cities, and regions see the importance of "place" to attract talent, inspire entrepreneurship, and encourage business. But what are the best strategies for putting placemaking to work in your community?

Recently, the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), the Michigan Municipal League (MML), the MSU Land Policy Institute, and other statewide organizations launched the MIPlace Partnership Initiative and a companion 'Placemaking Curriculum' with the purposes of helping Michigan communities learn how to implement placemaking as a strategic economic development initiative in the New Economy.
