The Virtuous Cycle <br />Successful destination parks elsewhere in the country demonstrate that the more iterative and <br />integrated the process is around programming and stakeholder engagement, the more successful <br />the park. <br />The virtuous cycle of placemaking, including intentional and ongoing community outreach and <br />engagement, enlarges the universe of programming potential, park users, funding sources, <br />sponsors, advocates, and social capital. <br />Placemaking is fluid. Just as the grass, and trees, and gardens of The Commons will be growing <br />and changing, so, too, will the community around it; and so, too, the placemaking process where <br />engagement, programming, and funding sources at The Commons develop and grow. <br />This commitment to placemaking by Green Minneapolis will expand the discussion of public <br />space in Minneapolis, in general, and The Commons, in particular, to include community <br />empowerment, capacity building, economic sustainability, and joy. <br />3 <br />M <br />Virtuous Cycle of Placemaking <br />29 <br />Program 1 <br />Fund <br />
