We are back in West Palm Beach, Florida this episode to continue our conversation with Sherryl Muriente, to discuss how the City will use learning from their previous placemaking initiatives to shape a bright future for West Palm Beach.
As a long time resident of West Palm Beach and now the Public Realm Director for the West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority, Sherryl is working to bring kindness back into the heart of the city through grace, media partnerships and whimsy. Together we discuss the strategy the City is using for collaboration at every level of implementation, the evolution of placemaking still to come, and how to make efficient and effective decisions for the best use of public space.
The episode covers:
- How to reframe the media from “adversary” to “ally” and the power of storytelling
- The launch of a placemaking mini-grants program to help build small dreams relatively quickly to build long-term civic partnerships
- What it looks like to build collaboration at every level of placemaking and project implementation
- The difference between qualitative and quantitative and the importance of both in decision making
- Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic about how to turn temporary experiments into permanent installations
- The need to evolve “placemaking” to avoid it becoming diluted and to maintain intent.
