Placemaking × Tourism
A Quarterly Discussion & Discovery Club

🗓️ Wednesday, 25 June
⏳ 9–11 am CET
📍 Online ➡️ https://lu.ma/sxfg8ahi?tk=pKI0kB

🧳🗺️ 🌍 Join us for a quarterly meet-up on placemaking and tourism, bringing together placemakers, architects, local governments, and destination management professionals, for a session of mutual learning and best practice sharing.

💚 Every last Wednesday of the quarter for ~120 minutes, we’ll explore the complex realities at the crossroads of placemaking and tourism. How do we balance the visitor experience with the local life? What is the soul, the genius loci, the DNA of your place – and how can placemaking approaches help you elevate the visitor and guest experience? And – can placemaking practice mitigate the negative impacts of tourism? Can we safeguard the unique soul of our cities, towns, and regions?

💙 Warm Data Lab Format: Our discussion utilizes the engaging Warm Data Lab format, developed by the Bateson Institute. This structured, free-flowing conversational process encourages participants to explore “wicked problems” and complexity by sharing personal stories, subjective experiences, and anecdotal observations. It’s a refreshing approach that values diverse perspectives over “expertise,” ultimately revealing larger patterns within complex community issues. We’ll delve into the mindsets, tools, and tactics that help us create more welcoming places, for both locals and the guests.
