In this episode we focus on West Palm Beach, Florida with our guest Sherryl Muriente, is working to bring life back into the heart of the City after the COVID-19 pandemic through whimsical and “play-focused” art installations.
As the Public Realm Director for the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, Sherryl walks us through their largest cultural initiative – The Trojan Horse Project. We discuss the importance of including the elderly and children (both groups often over-looked) in decision making and what new tools can be used to bring cultural changes that impact everyone within a community.
In this episode we cover:
- How to leverage the education system as a creative resource for placemaking and the importance of early engagement for a long-lasting community
- Why imagination, whimsy and play are important tools for positive community engagement
- The perseverance that is needed to overcome challenges and difficulties when working to create lasting cultural changes and a few strategies to overcome these difficulties.
- How municipalities can benefit from the use of AI in placemaking initiatives
- The importance of diversification within internal programming for inclusive and efficient data collection for effective decision making
