Placemaking Strategy
What is Placemaking?
Placemaking embraces the ideas, energy and skill in a community to create places with distinct character and style.
There is much more to placemaking than designing spaces.
Placemaking brings people together, including professinals, local councils, residents and businesses, to improve a community's cultural, economic, social and environmental wellbeing.
