Whether we’re looking at public health, economic diversity, social inclusion, environmental resilience, or cultural dynamism, place always matters. As a central component of Placemaking Week, the Placemaking Leadership Forum (September 14-16) is about community leaders gathering to best leverage the convergences we are seeing around the world when each of these fields and disciplines puts place first.

We are the doers and shakers, and we know first-hand the impacts that great placemaking has on the success and sustainability of our cities and communities. This September advocates, practitioners and policy makers will gather to chart the future of placemaking around the world.
