Successful placemaking

 

We've been exploring the concept of place in our research around creating a village centre for the small historic Mount Wilson community in the Blue Mountains.

So what are some of the things that define 'place'?

  • Is it about a particular location or environment?

  • What is the history of the people that inhabit this 'place'?

  • What are some of the cultural determinants we need to consider, both old and new?

  • What defines this space as 'being a place for both residents and visitors’?
