INTRODUCTION TO PLACE MAKING
DESIGNED OUT OF IT BUT FORGOTTEN Though we have derived of out urban areas and flock
around great public spaces either in daily life or in vacations
but have forgotten about methods to create in our own
community
ATTRACTIVE AND UNATTRACTIVE People have found Inactive , Pedestrian devoid
environments as boring and unattractive
eventually becoming unsafe and used
IDENTITY Foster landmarks for the
community and spirit of
the place
ex: LONDON EYE
IMAGEABILITY Aesthetically beautifies a
space giving a sense of
belongingness
ACTIVITY Stimulates daily activities
around the space such
as walking, playing etc
CULTURAL STIMULATION Creates a cultural identity
and sense of inclusitivioty

Reimagine Public Spaces The number of underutilized & run-down
spaces that lie right before our eyes, ignored, as we go about our
daily chores is amazing. The Re-Imagine Public Spaces Program
