placemaking

Placemaking is a collaborative approach to designing and improving public spaces to enhance community well-being and promote social interaction. It involves engaging local residents, businesses, and stakeholders in the planning process to create vibrant, accessible, and functional environments. Placemaking focuses on understanding the unique character of a location, fostering a sense of belonging, and encouraging active, enjoyable use of public areas. Examples include adding parks, art installations, seating areas, and community events, all aimed at making places more welcoming and enjoyable for everyone who uses them.
