| | | NPSG13-114 | | How Municipalities Can Avoid the 20 Most Common Place-Making Mistakes Speakers: Chad Emerson, Director of Development, City of Montgomery, AL; Eliza Harris, Urban Planner, Canin & Associates; Amanda Thompson, Planning Director, City of Decatur, GA. Moderator: Nathan Norris, CEO, Downtown Development Authority, Lafayette, LA In this “get real” session, you learn about the 20 most common placemaking mistakes that municipalities make, as well as the 10 most effective placemaking tools you should be using. The motivation for this session stems from the fact that many municipalities continue to make the same mistakes over and over — all the while hoping for a better result. Oftentimes, their major problem isn’t the execution of a specific tactic or tool, but the incorrect diagnosis of their challenges from the outset. This session arms you with the techniques and strategies you need to effectively advocate for meaningful improvements to your community. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $15.00 | | $15.00 | |
