PLACEmaking 2012 will be published by RUDI in January 2012
The fourth edition of PLACEmaking will explore ways of delivering successful projects in the context of limited funds, extensive planning reform and the developing localism agenda. It will showcase the smart ideas and innovative approaches needed to deliver quality places, and highlight the economic, social and environmental value of good design.
