Creating Great Places

The what, why, who, where and how of placemaking

We all want to live, work, run a business and spend time in spaces and places that are welcoming, safe, comfortable, sociable and interesting.

Great places don’t just happen by accident. Professionals work hard every day to make it happen, but thriving places also need the knowledge, care and contributions of local people. This course explores why and how it can happen.

This course is suitable for anyone interested in the WHAT, WHY, WHO, WHERE and HOW of great places. Everyone can play a role and make important contributions, from professionals, to business operators, developers, landowners, residents and visitors.

Price to complete the course in Australian dollars


This course was super helpful for me to understand the topic fully, as I always had so many questions about placemaking. Especially if I am "allowed" to do placemaking because I never wanted to commit the mistake to do "place washing" - now I am a lot more clear about this!

As I am not a native English speaker and live in Germany I understood every lesson and it helped me to become better in this field! I am thrilled to start new placemaking projects here in my hometown Oldenburg. THANK YOU!
