Districts in Placemaking is a leadership and continuous learning program designed for Cultural Districts, Innovation Districts, Campuses, Commercial Districts and Area Developers worldwide, with an initial phase of two years, focused on designing, implementing and managing public space processes. Guided by a vision to create vibrant, sustainable, and resilient places, we help districts foster community engagement, promote inclusivity, and lead the ecological transition.
Through the 8 Milestones in the programme we aim to learn and strategise how to:
Engage and collaborate with communities: foster deeper, more meaningful partnerships with local communities to ensure inclusive development and strengthen district identity.
Enhance public space management: develop, curate, and maintain vibrant public spaces that are effectively programmed to serve diverse needs and enhance social cohesion.
Accelerate the ecological transition: implement sustainable practices and green innovations to reduce environmental impact and promote resilience in district planning and operations.mpus hac.
Through this, we aim to develop comprehensive placemaking knowledge, foster effective collaboration among diverse stakeholders, and empower districts to implement transformative projects, as well as establish a network of leading individuals and districts capable of implementing comprehensive, both short and long-term public space projects to build vibrant and inclusive areas.
If you are a district that actively engages in implementing strategies to transform its public spaces in ways that promote inclusion, sustainability, and urban vitality adopting a networked and systemic approach to public space development - join the programme!
