Peter Kageyama Biography

The Creative Cities Summit, an interdisciplinary event that brings people and practitioners together around the grand concept of the city, is co-founded and produced by Peter Kageyama. Peter is the previous President of Creative Tampa Bay, a non-profit dedicated to community transformation at the grassroots level. For the Love of Cities: The Love Affair Between People and Their Places is his first book. He's given talks all around the world about community development from the ground up and the incredible individuals who are making it happen. One of the most important effects in our life is the reciprocal love affair between individuals and their surroundings, yet we rarely think of it as a relationship. We open up new possibilities in community, social, and economic development by including the most powerful of motivators — the human heart — in our toolkit of city-making. As cities begin to think of themselves as engaged in a relationship with their citizens, and as citizens begin to consider our emotional connections with our places, we create new possibilities in society, social, and economic development. We'll look at what makes cities lovable, as well as what inspires regular people to accomplish amazing things for their communities. Hear how certain cities, such as New Orleans, Detroit, and Cleveland, are channeling that energy to fill up the holes left by official city planners when resources vanish.
