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’?
Great little diagram resource from Project for Public Spaces website we found - perfectly defines a successful public space.
