“Place” has become a strategic organizing principle for stakeholders to plan, develop, invest, curate and empower communities in cities. Place is leveraged as the common catalyst for groups of stakeholders to align their interdisciplinary efforts to strengthen economies, enhance quality of life, and create socially inclusive communities.
The Place Leadership Project is a community-based participatory research project exploring place leadership and place management in the metropolitan Washington, DC region. Powered by Georgetown University’s Urban & Regional Planning Program, the project is led by Uwe Brandes (PI), Richard Bradley (Co-PI) and Ellen McCarthy (Co-PI).
This workshop convenes our regional network of over 50 place management organizations together with our new partner, the Placemaking Fund's Social Life Project. This interactive session will explore global innovations in placemaking strategies catalyzed by the pandemic and seek to establish a new framework for place-based innovation across the Washington, DC metropolitan region.
For all participants unaffiliated with Georgetown University:
Georgetown University looks forward to your upcoming visit. As of October 25, 2021, we are requiring all visitors to Georgetown University-owned or operated buildings in the Washington, DC, region to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or to attest to having a medical or religious exemption from being vaccinated.
Please follow the steps below that are required before your visit.
Step #1: Anytime between now and the day before your visit, please submit documentation showing you have been vaccinated against COVID-19 with a vaccine authorized for emergency use or granted approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the World Health Organization (WHO). Acceptable proof of vaccination includes, but is not limited to:
CDC COVID-19 Vaccine Card
WHO Vaccine Booklet
Documentation provided by a healthcare organization or country
Note: For those individuals who are not fully vaccinated but attest to having an appropriate medical or religious reason for not being vaccinated, you will be able to indicate this as part of Step #1 and proceed with the process required to visit our campus. You will be required to upload to the University proof of a negative PCR test taken within the last 72 hours when you submit your health attestation on the day of the event.
Step #2: Assuming successful completion of Step 1, you will receive a short health attestation form via email the morning of your visit to our campus. Please complete this form, attesting that you are symptom free at the beginning of the day you will be on campus. If you indicate any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, you will not be permitted to visit a Georgetown-owned or managed campus or building until you are symptom free.
Complete Step #1 Now.
Your event or meeting host will be able to monitor your progress on Step #1 above, and they may contact you if they see if you have not yet completed this step ahead of your scheduled time on campus. While event hosts are not provided information about your COVID-19 vaccination or your religious or medical exemption from vaccination, they are notified of the outcome of any COVID-19 test required by the University in connection with a claimed exemption and whether you have reported having COVID-19 symptoms or being in close contact with anyone who has tested positive.
