Abstract: As place-based interventions expand and evolve, deeper reflection on the meaning of ethical placemaking is essential. I offer a summary account of ethical placemaking, which I propose anddefineas an ethical ideal and practice for health and for health justice, understood as the capability to be healthy. I point to selected wideranging examples-an urban pathway, two long-Term care settings, innovations in refugee health services, and a McDonald's restaurant-to help illustrate these ideas.
