“More than ever, we must transform streets and public parking lots into (temporary) productive #publicspace that can facilitate #streetvending. #Urbanplanning and #publicspaces must be part of the #urban solution.” Placemaking Network Nairobi #Placemaking #Covid19Streets #StreetsAsPlaces

Streets and #publicmarkets are adapting, often creating better #publicspaces in the process. An Indonesian market is one of a growing number of examples: regional.kompas.com/read/2020/04/2… #COVID19Streets #marketcities #StreetsAsPlaces #localfood #placemaking

“#Placemaking is an example of the participatory ‘#Democracy of Doing’ in action. It is founded upon inclusiveness, contribution and continuous improvement... It's about building social and #placecapital.” Dean Cracknell Town Team Movement linkedin.com/pulse/soil-dem… #PlacemakingAus
