Abstract

The concept of place making has attracted growing attention as part of possible solutions to the shortage of new housing development in the UK and in the recent White Paper on the future of the planning system, the UK Government called for more attention to be given to placemaking. At the same time, place making has become an increasingly common element in the lexicon of the UK’s largest housebuilders. This commentary paper outlines some of the characteristics of place making, reviews how some of the UK’s largest housebuilders are addressing place making and offers some reflections on placemaking and the creation of new housing developments and communities.
