Join us for our third quarterly meet-up on placemaking and tourism, bringing together placemakers, architects, local governments, and destination management professionals, for a session of mutual learning and best practice sharing.
Every last Wednesday of the quarter for 120 minutes (this time, a bit earlier due to holiday season), we’ll explore the complex realities at the crossroads of placemaking and tourism. How do we balance the visitor experience with the local life? What is the soul, the genius loci, the DNA of your place – and how can placemaking approaches help you elevate the visitor and guest experience? And – can placemaking practice mitigate the negative impacts of tourism? Can we safeguard the unique soul of our cities, towns, and regions?
This time Cornelia Dlabaja joins us to share thoughts on Vienna Playbook: The Places To Be.
This structured, free-flowing conversational process encourages participants to explore “wicked problems” and complexity by sharing personal stories, subjective experiences, and anecdotal observations. It’s a refreshing approach that values diverse perspectives over “expertise,” ultimately revealing larger patterns within complex community issues. We’ll delve into the mindsets, tools, and tactics that help us create more welcoming places, for both locals and the guests.
