“Lowly, unpurposeful and random as they may appear, sidewalk contacts are the small change from which a city’s wealth of public life may grow”. ─ Jane Jacobs
When you focus on creating a “place,”
you do everything differently.
If you plan for cars and traffic…you get more cars and traffic.
If you plan for people and places…you get more people and places.
A study of three generations of 9 year olds found that over a recent 20 year period, the radius around the home that children were allowed to play had sunken almost 90%.

SOCIABILITY: The Power of 10
What is Placemaking? Placemaking is turning a neighborhood, town
or city from a place you can’t wait to get through to one you never want to leave.
Placemaking is the creation of a built environment that creates community, stimulates interaction, encourages entrepreneurship, fosters innovation and nurtures humanity.
What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is creating for everybody. The seed of democracy. Placemaking is the process of giving space a
story that is shared by many.
