Placemaking.Education
Placemaking is an inclusive and collaborative process, a mindset, an attitude that brings people, disciplines and organisations together to create positive changes to an area (small, medium or large). It aims to create places that people want to be in and where humans thrive. It is a process that can strengthen the fabric of a neighbourhood or community. Placemaking empowers people to act, not only as an ethical principle, but also because it is a real way to improve the way a person relates to themselves, their neighbours and their world.
Town Team Movement and PlacemakingX are inviting you to become a placemaker with the launch of Placemaking.Education, a new online learning platform bringing placemaking to all corners of the world.

“Placemaking is like turning a house into a home.”
Placemaking is a philosophy and an iterative, collaborative process for creating public spaces that people love and feel connected to.
Placemaking is about creating feelings in people. It's about making a public space, street or even a whole suburb "feel like home" - a place to feel good in, to belong to and be proud of.
Placemaking empowers people to act, not only as an ethical principle, but also because it is a real way to improve the way a person relates to themselves, their neighbours and their world.
