In our new edited book #Hyperlocal, @natestorring and I along w/multiple authors explore how now more than ever there is an urgent need to reexamine how public, private, and community stakeholders can together govern places. brook.gs/3zgYelW 1/10
In Ch 1 of #Hyperlocal, @lohplaces & I say in the act of #placemaking, groups are projecting preferences about their places, in turn exerting power. The chapter defines place, placemaking & place governance and tees up the book’s key themes. brook.gs/3zgYelW 2/10
In Ch 2 of #Hyperlocal, Alexander Von Hoffman discusses the history of American place governance as an undertaking of both elites & everyday citizens. It chronicles the evolution of these arrangements and their role in shaping communities over time. brook.gs/3zgYelW 3/10
