Theory of Place-making

The Theory of Place-making focuses on shaping public spaces to foster a sense of belonging and community. It emphasizes understanding how people interact with their environment and involving them in designing or revitalizing spaces to meet their needs and values. Effective place-making creates accessible, welcoming, and meaningful places that encourage social connections, pride, and well-being. It combines planning, design, and community input to transform physical spaces into vibrant, functional locales where people want to gather and feel attached.
