Abstract
The concept of placemaking is used in comprehensive and complex ways in different contexts of disciplinary boundedness and application in prospective planning and pathways to sustainable development. There is no mutual agreement on a common definition or its attributes. This concept is also taken as an approach and procedure too. Among all the concerns, at the core is ‘place’, which synthesises the multidimensional system of interdependency and interconnectedness. Culture is discussed as a vital force in practising placemaking. In the recent era of the paradigm shift, culture is accepted as the fourth pill that envelops the three basic pillars of SDG, viz. society, environment, and economy, as provoked in the Mexico Declaration in 1982. Through the recently developed mission of Reconnecting With Your Culture (RWYC), a new march is in the move to enhance quality and deeply-rooted education and dialogues making a bridge between locality and universality. The attributes of cultural landscapes and cultural heritage are the essential ingredients of placemaking. Ultimately, it is accepted that placemaking belongs to everyone: its message and mission are bigger than any one person or organisation. These are illustrated here within a frame of appraisal and review of the recent trends in understanding and studying placemaking.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
