Networks

All across Europe, fantastic placemaking networks are emerging and flourishing, each shaped by their own communities, contexts, and ways of working. Connected through shared values, these networks are doing inspiring work that reflects the rich diversity of placemaking practice across the continent. As Placemaking Europe, we are proud to celebrate them here and share a glimpse of what they are building.
