Placemaking involves designing public spaces to serve the people and bring communities together through mixed uses, successful streets, open spaces, appropriate urban scale, movement frameworks, and a sense of place. It is about making spaces that people gravitate towards and that capture the soul of a neighborhood by creating local identity and embracing the people, buildings, events, and nature in an area. The goal is to take back the public realm and create character and meaning to make a space a living place for the community.

This document discusses how creativity and culture can contribute to more inclusive and equitable community planning processes. It provides three key ways that artists can be involved: 1) Artists can help engage more community stakeholders in planning by designing creative events to gather input; 2) Artists can help communities imagine new possibilities and futures for their place by helping visualize alternatives; 3) Artists can highlight and support existing cultural assets in a community that may not otherwise be recognized in traditional planning processes. Involving artists in community planning can lead to more representative and impactful plans.
The document discusses placemaking, which involves designing public spaces, buildings, and programming to create a sense of place and increase social and economic value. It draws from sociology and urbanism, with the goal of creating spaces that attract people and foster community. The OU Institute for Quality Communities focuses on placemaking through community input, data analysis, and developing blueprints for improving streetscapes in a lighter, quicker, cheaper manner. Examples of placemaking principles being utilized nearby are also discussed.
This document summarizes feedback from a two-day urban design and placemaking course for 11 participants from Waverley Council in Sydney, Australia.

Feedback was overall positive, though some participants felt it could have been more tailored to their local urban context and included more analysis of examples. Suggested improvements included providing more structured information and focusing on key points rather than too much content at once.

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.
Looking for a quirky, funny and meaningful session on place, planning and urban design? Email Andrew about QI Place for your next event or conference.
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.
"Andrew's hosting of the QI style session on placemaking was informative, witty and very engaging. Many attendees spoke with me after the session advising that the humour kept them engaged and subsequently learning. Great session Andrew and well done" Dyan Currie, National President Planning Institute of Australia
