Abstract

The article discusses the role of the community health nurse in placemaking initiatives. It notes that placemaking has become a movement to invigorate public spaces across the U.S. for the promotion of health and well-being. It cites the impact of place on health including physical, psychological, and social. The article suggests interventions by community nurses such as collaborating with the city planners, and setting goals to transform physical places with elements that focus on health.
