Some types of place making
PLACE MAKING BY PROJECT

Incrementally creating quality places through

independent urban design projects which
enable activities and sense of place.
PLACE ACTIVATION

Pop-up place making; it is lighter, quicker and

cheaper
LONG_TERM PLACE MAKING

Larger-scale transformative projects, strategies

and activities for a location
CREATIVE PLACE MAKING

Partners form public, private, non-profit, and

community sectors shape the physical and
social characters of a neighbourhood, town,
city, or region around arts and cultural
activities.
