WHAT IF WE BUILT OUR COMMUNITIES AROUND
PLACES?
As both an overarching idea and a hands-on
approachfor improving a neighborhood, city, or
region,Placemakinginspires 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
whichwe can shape our public realm in order to
maximize shared value. More than just
promotingbetter 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.
