Placemaking Europe connects practitioners, academics, and community leaders to foster community-centric public spaces across Europe.
Placemaking Europe is a European network that connects practitioners, academics, community leaders, market players, and policy makers across the field of placemaking. The network focuses on creating public spaces that are not just functional but also foster a sense of community and social connection. Placemaking involves collaboration between various stakeholders to tailor public spaces to meet the needs of the community, often through projects such as public art installations, community events, and urban design initiatives. The goal of Placemaking Europe is to create healthy, inclusive, and beloved communities by accelerating placemaking practices. The network achieves this through knowledge sharing, tool development, and advocacy for better public space policies. They organize projects and events, such as Placemaking Week Europe, to facilitate collaboration and exchange of ideas among stakeholders.
