About this conference
The 5th International Placemaking Week is a global gathering of placemakers that emphasizes hands-on learning and innovative social events, while leaving behind a public space legacy. Embracing a wide variety of sectors and disciplines, the event creates a dynamic forum where attendees develop and share concrete strategies to advance placemaking both locally and globally. This three-day event consists of plenaries, breakout sessions, on-site and mobile workshops, and networking receptions. The theme for this year's conference, "From Recovery to Resilience through Placemaking," serves as a powerful reminder of the transformative influence of community-powered spaces that can help cities meet the many challenges of our world today. It aims to be a catalyst for innovative, inclusive, and adaptive placemaking, addressing the growing struggles of maintaining and enhancing social life in the public realm.
