Spatial Considerations of Arts and Culture

Planning for arts and culture means more than the development of a physical infrastructure and services. The provision of arts and culture can contribute toward community, societal and spatial development in a number of ways. This includes creative placemaking which can create a vibrant, distinctive sense of place; creation of stronger communities by providing spaces which enable informal social engagement; and enhancement of the physical and economic value of an area through quality and engaging places and spaces as well as supporting areas for arts and cultural events.
