Placemaking is about creating welcoming, vibrant spaces where people can connect, feel a sense of belonging and enjoy being part of their community. From local streets and parks to activity centres and public gathering places, placemaking helps create places that are inclusive, inviting and reflective of local identity.
By working with residents, community groups and local businesses, placemaking strengthens the connection between people and place. Through improvements such as greenery, public art and activations, it encourages community pride and creates neighbourhoods that are lively, connected and enjoyable for everyone.
You can get involved by coming along to an event, collaborating with us or creating your own placemaking initiatives. Explore the locations below to see what’s happening near you.
