One of the fundamentals of community development is building a community where people want to live — not just work, but live — in a convenient, safe, and experience-filled way.

This essay will outline the United States’ recent approaches to incorporating one of the most underused sets of tools in equitable development — the arts. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is a federal agency that supports the role of arts in making communities better, and we call that work “creative placemaking.” [1st paragraph]
