The document discusses the concept of placemaking and its importance in city planning and community development. Some key points:
1) Placemaking focuses on building communities around public spaces and destinations rather than just design. It requires effort to understand people and create places they enjoy.
2) There is growing recognition of the need to define cities by authentic neighborhoods and destinations rather than just buildings. Placemaking can converge with sustainability, health, and other urban planning goals.
3) The Project for Public Spaces advocates for the "Power of 10" - having 10 major destinations in a city/district, and 10 things to do in each place. This layering of uses creates vibrant public spaces.
This presentation is about urban squares in cities and towns. They acts as gathering and interaction spaces for public. They are also called as civic center, city square, urban square, market square, public square, piazza, plaza.

Jane Jacobs - Life and Work, a short presentation.Mudassir Haqqani
Jane Jacobs was an American-Canadian journalist, author, and activist who influenced urban studies, sociology, and economics. This is a short presentation that I prepared for my course in my Masters.
Detroit’s downtown is experiencing a renaissance unlike anything it has seen in decades. Largely vacant office buildings are filling up with new businesses and residents, the ground floors will soon welcome new shops and restaurants, and the streets and public spaces throughout the downtown are returning to life. Soon a new streetcar on Woodward Avenue, the M-1, will tie the downtown into the City of Detroit to the north, carrying residents, students and employees into the downtown and linking key destinations.
This report focuses on how the public spaces, and particularly the three major downtown parks, can be transformed, both in the long and short term — beginning summer 2013! — so that they support this exciting commercial and residential rebirth in the downtown, and also become destinations in their own right. To develop these ideas, Project For Public Spaces (PPS) brought into focus the concept of Placemaking to downtown Detroit and engaged the public in the Placemaking process. It is the intention of the stakeholder group to begin implementation of these ideas in order to create safe places for Detroit residents, workers and visitors.

Title: How Placemaking Can Transform Transit Facilities into Vibrant Destinations
Track: Prosper, Place
Format: 60 minute panel
Abstract: A transit station or stop can serve much more than a transportation function; it can be a focal setting for community interaction and a place that fosters a diversity of activities. Learn about opportunities for Placemaking at transit stops that creates a win-win-win for ridership, economic development, and local communities.

Evaluation criteria for Urbanism based on Sustainability and Spatial JusticeRoberto Rocco
What if we could evaluate projects, plans and designs using an enhanced concept of sustainability? “For sustainability to occur, it must occur simultaneously in each of its three dimensions” (economic, social and environmental) Larsen, 2012. These three crucial and necessary dimensions of sustainability are, each of them, connected to big traditions of study and analysis that must be integrated. My claim here is that this enhanced concept of sustainability help us derive solid criteria to evaluate plans, project and designs in Urbanism through the idea of Spatial Justice, and to connect this evaluation to larger academic traditions.
Presentation by Nicola Bacon from a debate hosted by John Thompson & Partners as part of the London Festival of Architecture.

http://www.social-life.co/news/post/what-can-designers-do-for-cities/
Architects started as makers of mass. Later, this idea evolved into the thought that the spaces carved out in buildings were the true art of architecture. As society evolved and mass transit provided the opportunity for many different classes, races and geographical groups would be in the same space, architecture began to embody utopian ideals of society.
Similarly, the “user experience” field began with the study of the interactions between people & computers. UX designers bridged the cognitive gap between people’s minds & the logical 1’s and 0’s of machines. As “user-centered” design & social media continue to grow, UX’ers realize they create frameworks in which brands build connections to customers, even facilitating interaction between those users: Interaction Design. A 2D space that gives people agency to participate in desired patterns. Social Choreography.
If there's anything to be borrowed from the practice of architecture to help UX, its the power of the diagram. The key to great UX is ensuring we meet both business and user goals by mating the mental models of the people interacting with the experiences we design.
Social sustainability is overlooked in mainstream sustainability debates. What does it take to create new communities that work socially, as well as economically and environmentally?

What is Placemaking‘Placemaking’ is both an overarching idea .docxphilipnelson29183
What is Placemaking?
‘Placemaking’ is both an overarching idea and a hands-on tool for improving a neighborhood, city or region. It has the potential to be one of the most transformative ideas of this century.
What if we built our communities around places?
Placemaking is the process through which we collectively shape our public realm to maximize shared value. Rooted in community-based participation, Placemaking involves the planning, design, management and programming of public spaces. More than just creating better urban design of public spaces, Placemaking facilitates creative patterns of activities and connections (cultural, economic, social, ecological) that define a place and support its ongoing evolution. Placemaking is how people are more collectively and intentionally shaping our world, and our future on this planet.
With the increasing awareness that our human environment is shaping us, Placemaking is how we shape humanity’s future. While environmentalism has challenged human impact on our planet, it is not the planet that is threatened but humanity’s ability to live viably here. Placemaking is building both the settlement patterns, and the communal capacity, for people to thrive with each other and our natural world.
It takes a place to create a community, and a community to create a place
An effective Placemaking process capitalizes on a local community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, ultimately creating good public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and well being. When we asked visitors to pps.org what Placemaking means to them, responses suggested that this process is essential–even sacred–to people who truly care about the places in their lives.
True Placemaking begins at the smallest scale.
The PPS Placemaking process, evovled out of our work with William “Holly” Whyte in the 1970s, and still involves looking at, listening to, and asking questions of the people who live, work and play in a particular space, to discover their needs and aspirations. This information is then used to create a common vision for that place. The vision can evolve quickly into an implementation strategy, beginning with small-scale, do-able improvements that can immediately bring benefits to public spaces and the people who use them.
For us, Placemaking is both a process and a philosophy. It takes root when a community expresses needs and desires about places in their lives, even if there is not yet a clearly defined plan of action. The yearning to unite people around a larger vision for a particular place is often present long before the word “Placemaking” is ever mentioned. Once the term is introduced, however, it enables people to realize just how inspiring their collective vision can be, and allows them to look with fresh eyes at the potential of parks, downtowns, waterfronts, plazas, neighborhoods, streets, markets, campuses and public buildings. It sparks an exciting re-examination of everyday settings and experiences in ou.
Placemaking is a way to make your community a better place to live and work by transforming public spaces into vibrant community places. As a place becomes more desirable and welcoming, properties around that place increase in value.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
