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.”

SPACE + IDEA = PLACE
