One of the projects I am most proud of is the Meri-Rastilamme project, which for the first time linked placemaking project into a long term city planning project and was planned together with the city planners. The project had a positive impact on creating a healthy mix of users on a troubled square. The encounters between people increased and children became more visible on the public square. The urban gardening activities which were initiated during the project have been integrated in the new plans for the district in the form of an edible community park. The project is featured in the Our City? book as an example on how placemaking can spark positive change by focusing on inclusive and strategic use of physical placemaking elements such as seating and gardening units.
