What is Placemaking?

Placemaking is about teaming up with our communities to make ordinary spaces into great places! We’ll take your ideas and develop a priority list, and work with the community to help bring those ideas to life. Then we'll learn by doing - by trying out those new ideas to see what's possible and encourage communities to think differently about how public spaces could be used.

We'll test those ideas because experimenting is how we'll learn what works - and what doesn't. It'll help us find the winning formula. The ideas we test will be temporary, and help build momentum towards longer term change and investment to create great places that you want to hang out in and keep coming back to.

Here are some placemaking examples:
