With a growing network of city-makers, researchers, and activists, Placemaking Europe provides a platform for learning, sharing, and co-creating tools, methodologies, and narratives that advance place-based development.
Our mission is to turn the spaces we live in into places we love, fostering a thriving, equitable, and sustainable world built on shared values, passion, and collective action around our public spaces.
We do that by
Creating opportunities for urban practitioners to gather, connect and share with one another
Providing open access to tools and guidelines on engaging communities and transforming public space
Helping to tackle specific challenges by structuring conversations and encouraging cross-silo collaboration
Advancing placemaking at a systemic level by supporting cities in their transformational efforts
