Quality design and accessibility in place-making
Successful place-making requires quality contextual design with responsible resource use, and must promote accessibility, inclusivity, safety, and diversity of use to support long-term viability.
Successful place-making also acknowledges the need for quality, place specific, contextual design, whilst at the same time making responsible use of limited resources. Successful place-making promotes accessibility and inclusivity for all, acknowledges the importance of creating hospitable and safe places, and emphasises the contribution that vibrancy, adaptability, and diversity of use can make to the viability of place and how it will endure into the future.
