Placemaking is a popular approach to creating or fostering appealing, livable communities. This book addresses the critical gap in placemaking evaluation by providing methodologies and practical tools for developing holistic and consistent approaches to measuring the impacts of placemaking projects. The authors integrate history and theory of placemaking and evaluation with the practice of reporting the impacts of unique and individual placemaking projects to stakeholders, enhancing public accountability and transparency. Chapters provide a comprehensive framework for designing evaluation systems tailored to various placemaking projects, integrating both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This book is essential for scholars, practitioners, and stakeholders of placemaking projects, and students in urban planning, urban design, and public administration courses.
