Place Making in Singleton

What is Place Making?

Place Making is an approach to planning that goes beyond design and infrastructure to look at relationships between the physical environment and the people who live, work and play in a particular space. At the core of Place Making is engaging with the community to find out what places are important, how these places are used and in what ways they can be improved.
