U4SSC – Participatory Urban Planning – Melbourne: Australia place-making case

The City of Melbourne and Village Well, an Australian place-making consultancy company, developed a cooperation project on sharing public spaces with the aim to apply the concept of place-making to engage community members locally; to enhance public spaces; and to contribute to a healthy sustainable community. Place-making is defined as the new environmentalism, using processes, tools and practices to create liveable and resilient cities, towns, communities and places.
