Developers and Creative Placemaking

We interviewed Jaunita Hardy, who recently finished a fellowship at the Urban Land Institute, a non-profit research and education organization that serves members who are mostly in real estate development. The occasion for this interview was a visit to Charlottesville, VA, for the 2019 Tom Tom Festival and Summit where Hardy and Andrea Orlando, Community Director at the National Consortium for Creative Placemaking and podcast host served together on a panel on creative placemaking. She talks about her research into best practices for real estate developers and the direction of creative placemaking in that industry. The interview took place one week before the 2019 Creative Placemaking Leadership Summit | South + Appalachia in Columbia, S.C.
