The combination of uses \u2013 educational, cultural, retail, and commercial \u2013 are open and available for visitors to freely partake in and are accessible physically, and in terms of how they are perceived.  Successful multi-use destinations are always changing because they are flexible enough to easily adapt to different times of day and year and they are proactively managed to take advantage of these differences.<\/p>\n<p>* Forging an \u201cArchitecture of Place\u201d: In many ways, iconic buildings have defined the past 50 years of modern architecture in cities. However, as cities and waterfronts evolve, a new idea of design is emerging called an \u201carchitecture of place\u201d, which indicates that cities will become more livable, sustainable and authentic in the future. Public institutions such as museums, government buildings and libraries will become important anchors for civic activity that host a broader range of activities than they currently do and a new type of design will support that quest.<\/p>\n<p>* Expanding the Idea of Accessibility and the Role of Transportation: In the last 100 years cities, (particularly waterfronts), have been defined by transportation decisions that were geared largely in favor of the car. The result is a system of streets and highways that reinforce a design ethos that is more about seeing or viewing rather than participating in communities. However, we are now seeing a massive shift in cities throughout the world where peo<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/cloud\/lampertina\">tags<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/project_for_public_spaces\">project_for_public_spaces<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/multi_use_destinations\">multi_use_destinations<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/public_space\">public_space<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/waterfront\">waterfront<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/norway\">norway<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/stavanger\">stavanger<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/conference\">conference<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"diigo-link\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pps.org\/creating-great-public-multi-use-destinations-at-granville-island\">The Magic is in the Mix: Creating Great Public Multi-Use Destinations at Granville Island \u00ab Project for Public Spaces &#8211; Placemaking for Communities<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-description\">Some interesting ideas articulated at the two-day Forum on multi-use destinations, held on Granville Island in Vancouver (organized by Project for Public Spaces).<br \/>\nQUOTE<br \/>\n-Public multi-use destinations like Granville Island have proven to be most successful, and we should replicate them more often. Why do we spend so much money on new developments that don\u2019t work and that don\u2019t attract people?<\/p>\n<p>-Don\u2019t lead with design. The design of multi-use destinations should be to create a \u201csetting\u201d for the uses that are occurring and that emphasize the products and the authentic aspects of the place.<\/p>\n<p>-The importance of government learning to say \u201cyes\u201d to new ideas and developing stronger more trusting relationships with the private sector.<\/p>\n<p>-\u201cIf you think you\u2019re done, you\u2019re finished\u201d \u2013 Developing spaces that are flexible and that \u201cmanage themselves.\u201d In other words, ongoing and innovative management is key to create vibrant multi-use destinations.<\/p>\n<p>-\u201cThe magic is in the mix.\u201d We are moving beyond the simple concept of \u201cmixed use\u201d toward a technique of development that builds authentic places through establishing settings and uses that are intimately related, interconnected and interdependent. True sustainability comes from the relationships between uses, tenants, and the organizations within a place.<\/p>\n<p>-Find creative funding strategies to keep rents low, attract a range of tenants and incentivize the presence of tenants who may not produce a lot of money for the site, but who bring a lot of foot traffic and are invested in the area.<br \/>\nUNQUOTE<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/cloud\/lampertina\">tags<\/a>: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/project_for_public_spaces\">project_for_public_spaces<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/vancouver\">vancouver<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/granville_island\">granville_island<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/multi_use_destinations\">multi_use_destinations<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/public_space\">public_space<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Posted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\">Diigo<\/a>.
