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. -Metropolitan PlanningCouncil of Chicago
Placemaking is the process by which people transform the locations they
inhabit into the places they live.
Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design andmanagement of public spaces. Put simply, it 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.
Placemaking capitalizes on a local communitys assets, inspiration, and potential,ultimately creating good public spaces that promote peoples health, happiness,
and well being.
True Placemaking begins at the smallest scale.

When you focus on place, you do everything differently:-
For us, Placemaking is both a process and a philosophy. It takes root when acommunity expresses needs and desires about places in their lives, even if there is
not yet a clearly defined plan of action. The desire 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 howinspiring 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 our
lives.
Unfortunately the way our communities are built today has become soinstitutionalized that community stakeholders seldom have a chance to voice
ideas and aspirations about the places they inhabit.
Placemaking breaks through this by showing planners, designers, and engineershow to move beyond their habit of looking at communities through the narrow
lens of single-minded goals or rigid professional disciplines.
Cities ultimately fail or succeed at the "place" scale

The first step is listening to best experts in the fieldthe people who live, workand play in a place.
Experience has shown us that when developers and planners welcome as muchgrassroots involvement as possible, they spare themselves a lot of headaches.
Common problems like traffic-dominated streets, little-used parks, and isolated,underperforming development projects can be avoided by embracing the
Placemaking perspective that views a place in its entirety, rather than zeroing in
on isolated fragments of the whole.
The Bedrock Foundation of Placemaking :-
A Placemaking approach provides communities with the springboard they needto regenerate their communities.
Community input is essential to the Placemaking process, but so is anunderstanding of a particular place and of the ways that great places foster
successful social networks and initiatives.
Using the 11 Principles and other tools weve developed for improving places(such as the Power of 10 and the Place Diagram, below) weve helped citizens
bring immense changes to their communitiessometimes more than
stakeholders everdreamed possible.
The Place
Diagram is one of
the tools PPS has
developed to help
communities
evaluate places.
The inner ring
represents keyattributes, the
middle ring
intangible
qualities, and the
outer ring
measurable data.

Placemaking is not a new idea:-
The concepts behind Placemaking originated in the 1960s, when visionaries likeJane Jacobs and William Holly Whyte offered groundbreaking ideas about
designing cities that catered to people, not just to cars and shopping centers.
Their work focused on the importance of lively neighborhoods and inviting publicspaces.
Jane Jacobs advocated citizen ownership of streets through the now-famous ideaof eyes on the street.
Holly Whyte emphasized essential elements for creating social life in publicspaces.
Applying the wisdom of Jacobs, Whyte, and others, PPS gradually developed acomprehensive Placemaking approach for helping communities make better
public spaces beginning in 1975.
The term can be heard in many settingsnot only by citizens committed tograssroots community improvement but by planners and developers who use it as
a fashionable brand that implies authenticity and quality even when their
projects dont always live up to that promise.
But using Placemaking to label a process that really doesnt focus on publicparticipation or result in lively, genuine communities dilutes the true value of this
powerful philosophy.
Placemaking is at the heart of PPSs work and mission, but we do not trademarkit as our property. It belongs to anyone who is sincere about creating great places
by drawing on the collective wisdom of those who live, work and play there.
We do feel, however, it is our responsibility to continue to protect and perpetuatethe community-driven, bottom-up approach that Placemaking describes.
We believe that the publics attraction to the essential qualities of Placemakingwill ensure that the term does not lose its original meaning or promise.
Making a place is not the same as constructing a building, designing a plaza, ordeveloping a commercial zone. When people enjoy a place for its special social

and physical attributes, and when they are allowed to influence decision-making
about that space, then you see genuine Placemaking in action.
Placemaking Grows into an International Movement
As more communities engage in Placemaking and more professionals call theirwork Placemaking, it is now essential to preserve the integrity of Placemaking.
A great public space cannot be measured simply by physical attributes; it mustserve people as a vital place where function is put ahead of form.
Placemaking strikes a balance between the physical, the social and even thespiritual qualities of a place. Fortunately, we can all be inspired by the examples
of many great Placemakers who have worked to promote this vision through the
years.
Placemaking belongs to everyone: its message and mission is bigger than any oneperson or organization.
PPS remains dedicated to spreading the message of Placemaking, offering ourresources and experiences to all the other Placemakers out there.
Teaching them to preserve and create successful places is the most importantpart of our mission.

Eco-Logical Benefits:
Pedestrian Oriented Development = Reduced Auto Use
Less Highway & Roadway Infrastructure Required Less Roadway Infrastructure Maintenance Required Higher Densities Save Land, Reduce Sprawl Requires Less Utilities Infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Electrical) Reduced Utility Infrastructure Maintenance Cost Less Overall Fossil Fuel Use = Less Environmental Pollution Healthier Environment for People, Plants, & Animals
How Do We Start ? Identify Stakeholders (ADOT, Corps of Eng., Developers, Citizen Groups,
City,County, Large & Small Local Businesses, Interested Corporations )
Establish Public Participation Process (Identify Champions) Define Your Goals (What Do You Want?) Create Shared Values (How Do You Want It?) Develop Your Placemaking Program (PPSs The Power of 10) Select Design Team (Preferably With Placemaking Experience & Philosophy) Envision The Future (Design Visioning Process) Identify Action Sub-Committees Begin By BEGINNING!! Take Some (ANY!!) Action
