Equity and Inclusion in Placemaking

Equity and inclusion in placemaking mean designing neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces so that everyone—regardless of their background, income, age, or ability—feels welcomed and can access these spaces equally. It involves actively involving diverse communities in planning to ensure their needs and voices are considered. This approach aims to create environments that promote fairness, support all residents’ well-being, and foster a sense of belonging for everyone in the community.
