A Holistic Approach to Placemaking in Australia

One of the summit’s core values is recognizing that placemaking is both an art and a science. It blends empathy with economics, aesthetics with accessibility, and identity with infrastructure. The Australian Placemaking Summit reflects this multidimensional approach, helping attendees to not only design better spaces—but also to nurture the relationships and policies that make great places possible.

By weaving together expert-led content, collaborative learning, and diverse representation, the event plays a pivotal role in shaping a shared future vision for Australia’s urban environments.
