Introducing the new and improved Placemaking Hub!
The City of Charlotte’s Placemaking Hub is your resource center for bringing a project to life in your
neighborhood.
To simplify the process, tools are grouped into two categories: Creating Place and Supporting Art.
Creating Place has tools for projects that create new public spaces or that activate existing spaces.
Are you a CATS rider who dreams of decorating a bus stop? Or maybe a restaurant owner who envisions
expanding into sidewalk dining?
Learn how you can bring these elements to your community through the Placemaking Hub.
Supporting Art has tools for projects like artwork, sculptures, and wayfinding.
From wall and street murals to decorative utility cabinet wraps and signage, there are tools available to
help you make unique additions to your neighborhood.
You can check out past projects around Charlotte on an interactive dashboard. One day soon, you could
find your own project on the map!
If you have a vision already, you can apply for a permit through an online application form.
The city strives to make the process as easy as possible, and we’re prepared to answer all of your
questions. Find frequently asked questions online and direct any additional questions to
placemaking@charlottenc.gov.
A key feature of the updated Placemaking Hub is an in-depth guidebook to walk you through every step
of your journey to reimagining where you live.
The Queen City is a canvas, and the Placemaking Hub empowers you to make that canvas your own.
