From planning and designing public spaces to building and maintaining them, placemaking keeps the focus on the people who use and benefit from those spaces. James F. Lima will talk about “The Economics of Placemaking” here in Chattanooga - at The Camp House on Thursday, May 4th starting at 5:30 PM - for the CIVIQ speaker series hosted by Chattanooga Design Studio.
After the Civil War, new factories - from textile mills to iron fabricators - were built here in Chattanooga. This semester on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, a grant-funded project has been digitizing photos, documents and other materials from that era of labor and industry in this city.
