THE ROLE OF PLACE
At InSite, our name reflects the importance we place on location and its impact on our work. Our projects take place in environments that provide valuable insights into history, policy, and community impact. We understand that the characteristics of different spaces—whether shaped by economic, social, or policy factors—play a significant role in shaping the experiences of people who live and work there. Central to our approach is understanding how historical events, urban development, and public health challenges influence opportunities and outcomes over time.
To engage with these issues, we use the Politics of Place as a method to explore the various influences that shape a location. Through arts, music, storytelling, and collaboration with local leaders, businesses, and residents, we aim to better understand and address the challenges of each space. For us, place is a powerful tool for fostering community collaboration and innovation.
