The Value of Placemaking in Urban Transformation – Experience-Based Findings and Method Development
The report documents a process focused on uncovering the value creation of placemaking through real-world cases.
It highlights how activities generate impact in local communities, including among marginalized groups, and how placemaking can reduce loneliness by strengthening social relationships. In addition, it examines the relationship between positive experiences in transformed urban spaces and the development of square meter prices in Copenhagen over the past four decades.
