Is placemaking just a buzzword or is it a crucial piece of any project in the built environment? ULI believes artists and placemakers are vital. From attracting influencers to enhancing mental and physical health of residents, employees, and neighbors, creating design themes and branding and incorporating art from the first moment of conception are cost-effective ways to assure a project’s success.

Our panelists, Ivy Lupco, Manager of Public Space Placemaking & Programming for the Tampa Downtown Partnership, Martha McGee, CEO of renowned consulting company NINE dot ARTS, and Taylor Ralph, one of ULI Tampa Bay’s Art in Place member leaders and President of REAL Building Consultants, will discuss the possibilities and opportunities with moderator Keith Greminger.
