Revitalisation: The missing role of government

Many areas need ‘place medicine’ but few are prepared to invest in it. Storm Cunningham sets out his vision for revitalised places and a programme for making it happen.

Many unsuccessful people avoid the risks needed to achieve their dreams because they fear failure. In cities and nations, similar anxieties might explain why our public leaders fail to shoot for revitalisation. They’ll promote projects with a tighter focus that fix roads, renew waterfronts, and restore historic buildings. But they won’t create a revitalisation program for the entire community, state, or nation.
