The art of Placemaking: A space becomes a “living place” when it evokes emotion, drives movement, and creates excuses for self-reflection, creativity or engagement. Placemaking is the art of giving a soul to an urban environment, in the awareness that this soul comes from the people who use it…even if they use it in ways we can’t always foresee.
