Rachel Radawec, Director of Public Space Operations & Programming at the Tampa Downtown Partnership, gave a terrific presentation on place management at last week’s International Downtown Association (IDA) Conference.
Rachel discussed the realm of place management, and expounded on the choice of establishing in-house ambassador programs or contracting out those services. The discussion pondered which of these methods best influences the effectiveness of public space initiatives such as vibrancy enhancement and safety.
