Recognizing the new economic realities facing them, a growing number of municipalities across Canada are turning to municipal cultural planning as a powerful tool to support economic development and community building. These represent municipalities of all sizes and circumstances – from large urban centres to mid-size cities to rural areas and small towns. Rediscovering the Wealth of Places is a practical introduction to core planning concepts and tools. This includes a methodology for cultural mapping and the systematic identification of a wide range of local cultural assets. A strong focus is placed on the effective integration of culture in planning across municipal departmen ts, and with a look at some leading practices from Canada and around the world. This important work includes chapters from Elena Bird; David T. Brown; Susan M. Gardner; Jeannette Hanna; Gord Hume; Jennifer Keesmaat; Mark Kuznicki; Colin Mercer; and Kevin Stolarick.
