Placemaking
The mindset and process for creating great places and fostering active citizens
Places are important. They affect our identity, worldview, values, culture, speech, ideas, education, employment prospects, physical and mental health, life expectancy, wealth and happiness.
But, many places are unsafe, unsocial, uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Placemaking is about bringing different people, organisations and disciplines together to create positive changes in a place or area.
It is a growing global movement that aims to improve not only the physical elements of a space, but also the way people think and feel about the world around them. It promotes agency and active citizenship through the collaborative, iterative art and process of creating better places.
This course is professionals and volunteers interested in the WHAT, WHY, WHO, WHERE and HOW of great places and fostering active citizenship.

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!
