THE PROCESS SO FAR

ACTIVITY 1 WHAT MAKES WINGHAM UNIQUE?

WHAT IS PLACE MAKING & ACTIVATION?

“ Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalises on a local community’s assets, inspiration, and potential, ultimately creating good public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and well being. Place-making is both a process and a philosophy .” > placeleaders.com < SPACE + IDEA = PLACE

WHAT ARE SOME KEY PLACE MAKING PRINCIPLES? 1. THE COMMUNITY IS THE EXPERT 2. CREATE A PLACE, NOT A DESIGN 3. LOOK FOR PARTNERS 4. YOU CAN SEE A LOT JUST BY OBSERVING 5. HAVE A VISION 6. LIGHTER, QUICKER, CHEAPER 7. TRIANGULATE 8. THEY ALWAYS SAY “IT CAN’T BE DONE” 9. FORM SUPPORTS FUNCTION 10. MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE 11. YOU ARE NEVER FINISHED
