Etymology

From place + making.

Noun

placemaking (uncountable)

  1. The planning, design and management of public spaces with regard to the communities that will inhabit them.
    • 2025 May 26, Anna Minton, “A new kind of gentrification is spreading through London – and emptying out schools”, in The Guardian, →ISSN:
      The positive rhetoric and branding of placemaking is that it transforms run-down areas into vibrant and economically successful parts of the city. The reality is that it creates sterile places, emptied of so many of the essential aspects of urban life, except the expensive activities.
