What Makes a Place Special?
What makes a city or a place great? The architecture? The people? The food? Or is it something else entirely? A great place is more than the sum of its parts. Buildings, roads, and amenities may make a place livable, but public places that evoke a sense of vibrancy, identity and belonging make them truly special.
What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is a multidisciplinary approach to turning ordinary spaces into liveable, lovable places that people feel connected to. When done right, it strengthens community ties and spirit and transforms a neighbourhood, a city, a country, and people.
