Placemaking

Placemaking is a collaborative process that involves designing, activating, and managing public spaces to strengthen the connections between people and the places they share. This approach emphasizes community participation, creativity, and inclusivity, reflecting the needs and aspirations of residents. 

Placemaking goes beyond physical design to foster social interaction, cultural expression, and a sense of belonging, ultimately enhancing the quality of urban life.
