| Abstract | This paper was delivered by Mark Stern at a transatlantic symposium on the arts and artists in urban resilience held in Baltimore in May 2014. With the topic of creative placemaking outcome measurement, Stern took a step back to talk about the "outcomes problems" of creative placemaking. The focus of the talk was on the problems of conceptualization and measurement of the ways that creative placemaking can influence a place and the people who live, work, and visit there. The presentation had five sections: 1) the controversy over outcomes of creative placemaking; 2) the potential contradictions in its conceptual foundation; 3) how economic impact and creative economy approaches have addressed the question of measurement; 4) SIAP's approach to space and place; and 5) implications for policy and grantmaking. |

| However, the presence of cultural assets has a significant impact in mitigating social inequality. . | The concept of cultural ecology provides a solid foundation for creative placemaking, but it also poses a challenge. . | On the other hand, we say that what art does which is crucially important for society is creating empathy, allowing solidarity for people who do not necessarily share the same reality. . | Local and city authorities recognize the value the creative sector brings so they create spaces for artists to work because they know it creates a more attractive environment, a more textured and more disruptive environment with low cost and minimum commitment. . | Ideally, cultural entrepreneurs will pursue the redevelopment of under-used urban land to create appealing urban spaces that serve local residents, build social trust, and attract increasing investments. . | But maybe our goal here is that we really think that the intrinsic value of our artists and our artist community is worth something and we are creating these places which foster that. . | For example, the creative sectors are pushed more and more into the direction of improving communities, improving cities, of being effective, etc. . | Looking at a neighborhood basis, that having at the streets and having artists as part of this community is part of what we stand for -just as we are in favor of diverse housing. . | If we are creating an environment for artists - arent they an intrinsic value that we should supporting? . | We are talking about the value of the artist for this community. . | What is more, this will allow the cultural sector to link its interest in social outcomes to discussions and debates about these issues in other fields, including public health, housing and community development, and education. . | Art helps to take a perspective which is not necessarily yours. . |
