VALUE OF PLACE-LED CITIES©
▪ People-centered approach to the planning, designing and
management of the urban space .
▪ Gathering places within a community for greater interaction between
people and foster healthier communities.
▪ Vital public destinations--the kind of places where people feel a
strong stake in their communities and commitment to making things better. Placemaking capitalizes on local community›s assets,
inspiration and potential, creating good public spaces that promote
people›s health, happiness, and economic well-being.
