Through a series of short, sharp chapters, Placemaking: People, Properties, Planning delivers a cross-disciplinary critique of placemaking, examining how placemaking occurs, the quality of the places produced, and the experiences of those living and working in them.

A great book that any city planner, any real estate professional, any student in the built environment should get inspiration fromPlenty of insights on a wide range of topics carefully edited, from real estate markets to sustainability.

With pressure on cities increasing, this is a timely book which explores a spectrum of innovative practices around placemaking. From reflections on the smart agenda to nature and beyond, the text is a vital read for researchers, policy makers, practitioners and others interested in creative ways of designing and planning urban spaces. This essential and unique text draws on an extensive range of knowledge from planners, architects, geographers, sociologists and more to raise awareness around how placemaking can be transformed in the future cityscape.
