Informal Network

Placemaking France

Defending places for people, in France and further afield.

We are a group of collectives, civil servants and consultants who were wondering why there wasn’t a national network in France, because in France, placemaking is alive and well, even if le placemaking is not necessarily the term employed for user-centered city making. Here, the challenge is to create unity between various sectors that share Placemaking Europe’s values and to create links with the non-French speaking placemaking networks or communities.

An informal group was formed after PWE 2025 with French collectives and public institutions that attended in 2026 and in the past. Our present goal is to create a bridge between Placemaking-aligned movements in France and elsewhere in Europe. Since the festival, we have been co-creating a strategy to become a more formalised network and hope to have a more visible presence in France over the coming months.
