About this title

Synopsis

This short, thoughtful and informed book looks at how we define the environment, place and placemaking. It is shaped by the idea that in an increasingly urbanised world charitable foundations, grant makers and philanthropists have a leadership role to invest in collaborative place-led programmes. Through research, interviews and the stories of placemaking Maria Adebowale-Schwarte observes the human connection to the places we live, love, work and play in. She examines a range of cases from the environment, green spaces, and food growing to enterprise, data and inclusion. The Placemaking Factor explores just why dynamic grant making and giving can be at the heart of a fairer and greener future. It’s a book not only for the grant making world but also one for planners, architects, urban designers and anyone interested in how we make places and spaces better for everyone.
