Routledge Place-making and Urban Development: Planning & Design

This Routledge book explores place-making as a distinct field within contemporary urban development, examining how the regeneration of critical urban areas through public space redesign engages local communities. The work presents place-making as an innovative discipline that stands alongside traditional fields such as urban planning, urban design, and architecture, offering fresh perspectives on creating better places for people. Designed for professionals, academics, and students in architecture, landscape design, and urban planning, this volume addresses the evolving practices and theories that define modern place-making approaches. Part of the Regions and Cities series, it provides essential reading for those seeking to understand how contemporary design strategies and community involvement shape urban regeneration projects and public space transformation.
