a sense of Place
Tulsa has a unique heritage that is rooted in
its climate, topography, history and cultural
traditions. Private development and city actions
can reinforce and enhance this unique character.
Another dimension of place-making is the ways
that buildings and public space relate: buildings
should create coherent and well-shape public spaces
while shielding them from parking lots and other
features that dilute activity and urban form along
streets, parks, and plazas.
Public art
Public art, including statues, fountains, interpretive
spaces and other elements enliven and celebrate
Tulsa’s history and culture. The arts also add to the
city’s economic prosperity by attracting visitors,
providing venues for new artists and making the
city a more diverse and interesting place. The City
should continue to support this asset through the
Tulsa Arts Commission, the “1% for Public Art”
ordinance, and collaboration with foundations and
local arts institutions.
