Assessing a set of indicators for creative placemaking: reflections from the field
Morley, Elaine; Winkler, Mary K. (2014)
Identifying indicators that measure the impact of creative placemaking is difficult because creative placemaking efforts often have multiple and varying goals, such as increasing employment, reducing crime, and attracting or retaining residents.

Increasing the amount and quality of data available on EDM firms would provide opportunities for improved analysis, policymaking, capital flow, and product development.

The Brookings Urban Markets Initiative: Using information to drive change

Appropriate access to goods and retail services must be a part of any agenda to create healthy communities. This article outlines the role of information as a critical part of the framework for urban retail success benefiting residents, communities, and the private ...

Wyse, Angela; Sellman, Alina; Liebman, Jeffrey B.; Gillette, Ryan; Belinsky, Michael; Azemati, Hanna (2013)
