Placemaking

Courtney Babb

A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Transport and Society, 2025, pp 272-273 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Urban transport policies, infrastructure and traffic can impact the quality of places in cities, towns and suburbs. Placemaking refers to a philosophy and set of practices that seek to protect and enhance the quality of places in cities. Placemaking is often used in response to the negative impacts of automobility on urban places, particularly streets.
