We have collated the feedback we received on the Urban Design and Placemaking Course we gave at the recent UDIA Placemaking Summit. The feedback is overwhelmingly positive about the course. This is an overall summary of the feedback, which includes a snap shot of the verbatim comments provided by course participants.
The document provides an introduction to a placemaking workshop in Townsville, Australia. It outlines the aims of the workshop, which are to provide participants with a shared understanding of urban design, placemaking, and how local councils can deliver quality public spaces. The workshop agenda is presented, which covers topics like urban design principles, place qualities, placemaking processes and roles. Examples of successful public spaces both within Australia and internationally are also referenced throughout the document.
A three hour workshop targeting Councillors. A shared understanding and language of urban design and placemaking; an appreciation of what it means individually and to Council;
an understanding of the broad benefits to the community and Council; an understanding of how Council can deliver Places for People (and access to more information and resources); and
key trends in urban design and placemaking.
Eight actions to enable Police Buildings to contribute to the vision of the Police Service, rather than contradict it. Police buildings will continue to play an important role in effecting public confidence in the police. Great care needs to be given to the design and management of all police buildings.What social trends will influence police station location? How police buildings shape people’s confidence in the police, their fear of crime and sense of security.
The document provides guidance on developing an urban design brief for Lamington Drive. It discusses key components of the brief, including place context, aspiration, process, roles, delivery, and management. For the place process section, it focuses on proposing areas of design for consultants to address, such as urban structure, connections, detailing, and social fabric. It recommends using a process like Enquiry by Design and providing a 3-4 month timeframe for urban design or 2-3 months for place activation. The brief aims to engage consultants to develop a solution for Lamington Drive that meets the identified aspirations.
This document summarizes feedback from a course on urban design and placemaking held in Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia. It provides details on the course such as the date, number of participants, and facilitator. It also summarizes feedback from participants, who highly rated the quality of the program and presenter. According to the feedback, 93% found the content relevant, excellent, and meeting or exceeding their expectations.

Rapidly changing trends in consumer spending are influencing the planning and design of retail centres - nationally and internationally. Broader community benefits of placemaking are also influencing government policy. This presentation will combine this “carrot and stick” to propose 10 short and medium term actions for centres in the city, suburbs and townships of the Toowoomba Regional Council. To help them benefit from this rapidly changing context. My presentation will include images of national and international best practice, video interviews, statistics and sources of additional information.

Based on the British comedy television quiz show QI hosted by Stephen Fry, four attendees test their “Quite Interesting” knowledge on places and planning.
Obscure or twisted questions will get you thinking about the relationship between planning and place. Yes, panellists get points for the right answer, but top points go to an interesting perspective or joke answer... we’ll deduct points for pathetically wrong answers.
We won’t just accept anyone - you’ll have to be “an ace on place” to nominate for the panel. You’ll score yourself with our skills audit on placemaking during the session. Don’t worry - we’ll give you a little bit of background first.

The Virginia Creeper Trail in southwest Virginia is a popular way to enjoy fall foliage while getting exercise by biking or hiking. The 34-mile former railroad line runs from Whitetop Station to Abingdon. It passes through scenic woodlands, farms, and streams. In the fall, cyclists can coast downhill for 17 miles from Whitetop Station, taking in colorful views. The lower section from Damascus to Abingdon through farmlands is also suitable for enjoying the changing leaves while exerting some physical effort by pedaling. The Virginia Creeper Trail offers a great outdoor activity for appreciating the natural beauty of autumn.
