STEP 4.
CHANGE
Short term and/or long term spatial Interventions
We have come to the fourth step – It is time for the interventions. Take your summary plan and get to work.
Remember:
Creative Place-making focuses on cultural activities such as public art displays, outdoor concerts, movies in the park, and installations with art themes!
Having in mind this, you can have short term or long term interventions.It depends on the space you are working on, number of people you have in your team, stakeholders involved and other specifics of your place-making process.
How to do – Short term intervention
Short term intervention in public space often
lasts from 1 – 30 days.
Here are some examples of creative placemaking
interventions:
ACTIVITY PLAN
This activity plan consist of questions you need to ask yourselves when implementing the intervention
1. Who is my implementing team ?
write down names and functions: eg team leader, volunteer coordinator, person in charge for social media and public relations, technical support etc.
2. What are the responsibilities of each team member?
write down the responsibility for each team member mentioned in question 1. and set the name of the activity for them
3. What is the time frame for each activity?
draw your time frame for each activity so everything is well coordinated and every person knows what and when is he/she/they doing
4. What do you need to implement each activity?
name all the things you will be needing while implementing each activity of creative place-making interventions
5. How to get the money for the activity?
write down your finances – think who can help you – local paint store, municipality, local shops, ask for donations, local artists, musicians, coffee shops?
Activity plan table – example:
At the end, the most important question is: What have we done? What was good and what was not? Why?
Evaluate yourself so you can improve your skills and sustain future sustainability!!!
How to do – Long term intervention
To do this kind of intervention you have to involve partners from public, private, non-profit, and community sectors.
It means you are doing a big change in the physical and social character of a neighborhood which will have significant meaning in the cultural life of your town.You can use the same question from the Activity plan from short term interventions BUT you will have much more people involved and much more stakeholders. You will also need much more money so plan ahead.
Examples of long term interventions:
VERY IMPORTANT!
Also, when you are working with cultural heritage you have to have in mind that those places are under the protection of conservators so it will take time to get all the transformation approved! Do not forget to add them on your stakeholder list.
This is the end of this step.
You have done an excellent job.
Now it is time to move to the final step and celebrate, inspire, and be inspired!
