End-users provide the most valuable perspective and insights into
how public social space should function. Much of the failure of
urban settings can be related to over-structured urban environments
which deterministically prescribe usage, constraining instead of
enabling socio-spatial performance. Planning decisions by
specialists should be made with the participation of the end-user
to minimise uncertainty as far as possible, creating enabling
environments. Placemaking: An Urban Design Methodology presents a
methodology that evaluates the preferences of urban dwellers and
synthesises these with the planning specialist's expertise, better
representing all views. Author Derek Thomas integrates the Sondheim
Methodology with means to understanding cultural clues to create a
matrix methodology that links planning primers with planning
actions. A unique new tool for community planners, this book
emphasises the importance of the community while taking into
account the expertise of the planner in creating public spaces.
