The importance of place-based approaches for governments
Learn about a holistic, collaborative, and effective approach to addressing complex challenges
Why do this online course?
Place-based approaches' target the specific circumstances of places and engage local partners, organisations and people as active participants in the planning, implementation and ongoing process of improving a local area.
Whilst they can complement the bigger picture of service and infrastructure delivery, they do push up against traditional ways of working and standard systems and processes. Current policies and practices can hinder the collaborative, cross-governmental and relational work that is crucial for successful place-based initiatives.
This course explains the challenges and solutions, and is based on decades of experience and thinking across the global placemaking movement.
Who is it for?
This course may be relevant for higher levels of government around the world, including central, Federal, State, provincial or regional governments. From a placemaking perspective, these government agencies are similar as they sit at the strategic level, distanced from individual places, but having responsibilities for many places, cities and regions.
What will it help you with?
Placemaking is about much more than just urban design. It is a holistic, collaborative, and people-centric approach to creating, improving and managing places. It promotes broader social, economic, cultural, and environmental outcomes, as well as physical space improvements.
