ABSTRACT
Creative placemaking – that is, the use of arts and humanities content and methodologies to support community and/or economic development – plays a prominent role in urban planning across the globe today. It is a complex phenomenon that can either work as a counterweight to the effects of the global homelessness of capital in the newer cognitive capitalist economy or as yet another way to foster it. Philosophers can and should understand creative placemaking and its consequences for cities and urban dwellers. There are creative placemaking practices that can lead to more just cities if thoughtfully planned and implemented.
