Abstract
Recent decades have seen a surge in the implementation of creative placemaking initiatives in cities worldwide. Often considered a facet of a new urban vision in the post-modern era, creative placemaking aims to rejuvenate public spaces by integrating art and cultural activities in the urban design process. By acknowledging the transformative potential of art and culture and positioning them as catalysts for social change, this approach seeks to enhance livability, foster diversity and stimulate economic development in previously overlooked and underserved neighbourhood communities. Despite the realization of some promises and the abandonment of others, a critical question arises: To what extent, under the veneer of creative expression, does creative placemaking genuinely serve benevolent purposes? I argue in this essay that creative placemaking, masquerading as an art-centred strategy, is, in reality, a political urban plan aligned with the principles of neoliberal capitalism to tame the city, its public spaces and its citizens– both artists and non-artists alike.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
