How Placemaking Impacts the City

Placemaking is a term often heard and seen when new urban projects are announced, where it is stated that ‘placemaking’ is being used in the process. But what does this actually mean? Placemaking is an approach to planning, design, and management of public spaces. Placemaking makes the most of a local community’s assets and inspiration to create public spaces which promote health, well-being and happiness to the community. The key is to strengthen the connection between people and the spaces that they share. To help them create a sense of place and a sense of belonging. Placemaking starts with a collaborative process, building a shared understanding of the critical issues facing a community or place, and helping to reimagine how everyday public spaces — from parks, plazas, streets, and markets — can address these issues for the benefit of the community and city. Most importantly, placemaking is more than promoting better public spaces and urban design, it focuses on building physical, social, and cultural identities and characteristics that define a place. <a href="https://usl-bangkok.medium.com/how-placemaking-impacts-the-city-2f03b123583f">Visit Now</a>
