Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Placemaking – a concept, methodology and planning tool used to shape and reshape public spaces – is an enduring element of urban planning. One of the earliest scholarly mentions of placemaking appears in Relph’s Place and Placelessness, in which the geographer explores the urban conditions under which “places are made, and on what grounds these might be considered authentic or contrived”. In this commentary, we provide a brief overview of placemaking, paying particular attention to the temporal and spatial evolution of placemaking as a planning concept that has circulated globally. Demonstrating ongoing interest in the value and possibility of placemaking, we delve into new directions in research and practice that touch upon the challenges and opportunities in placemaking as a result of four ‘post’ discourses: post-capitalism, post-liberalism, post-pandemic and post-truth. We conclude with a discussion of placemaking’s relevance to the future of planning.
