Placemaking and Sustainable Urbanism: Strategies for Creating Liveable and Resilient Cities

Abstract

Sustainable urbanism has become a popular expression in the realm of planning and design. The concept of sustainable urbanism revolves around the idea of managing finite resources for the burgeoning population. The ultimate goal of sustainable urbanism is community well-being and inclusivity, which align with the objectives of placemaking. The paper aims to explore the prospects of placemaking in achieving sustainable urbanism. The case studies demonstrate that strategic investment in sustainable infrastructure and adaptive reuse practices yields long-term cost savings and environmental benefits. The conclusion reflects on the challenges related to citizen participation and governance, highlighting the necessity of collaboration and coordination among stakeholders.
