Placemaking definition

Placemaking means more than just identifying a location and building on it; the local community’s input is sought out and valued, and its’ needs and aspirations considered from the beginning of the development process. In practice, this means the creation of safe neighbourhoods and pleasant outdoor areas with distinct characters, of communal spaces and leisure facilities that cater to the needs of a broad range of users, and of mixed, diverse housing, vibrant services, and business opportunities that energise both the village itself and the surrounding region.
