PLACE MAKING

Placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of every
community. Strengthening the connection between people and the places they share, placemaking
refers to a collaborative process by which we can shape our public realm in order to maximize shared
value. More than just promoting better urban design, placemaking facilitates creative patterns of use,
paying particular attention to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place and support
its ongoing evolution.

and economic policies.
