Read MorePlacemaking is an innovative approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces. It involves looking at a space holistically, considering not just physical elements like streets, buildings, and landscaping, but also taking into account the social, economic, and cultural needs of a community. Placemaking brings together stakeholders, urban planners, architects, and community members to create spaces that are vibrant, accessible, and inviting. It looks at how a public space can be used to improve the quality of life in a community, as well as how a public space can be programmed to create social connections, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. Placemaking focuses on creating inviting and livable public spaces that are meaningful to their users and reflect the unique character of their local community.
