The Placemaking Movement

The Placemaking Movement focuses on creating public spaces that foster community engagement, well-being, and a sense of belonging. It encourages collaborative planning involving local residents, businesses, and organizations to develop vibrant, functional areas in cities and towns. This can include improving parks, streets, and community centers, making them more welcoming and accessible. At its core, placemaking aims to enhance the quality of life by promoting social interactions and active use of spaces, ultimately transforming areas into lively hubs reflective of the community's identity and needs.
