Place-Keeping presents the latest research and practice on
place-keeping - that is, the long-term management of public and
private open spaces - from around Europe and the rest of the world.
There has long been a focus in urban landscape planning and urban
design on the creation of high-quality public spaces, or
place-making. This is supported by a growing body of research which
shows how high-quality public spaces are economically and socially
beneficial for local communities and contribute positively to
residents' quality of life and wellbeing. However, while large
amounts of capital are spent on the creation of open spaces, little
thought is given to, and insufficient resources made available for,
the long-term maintenance and management of public spaces, or
place-keeping. Without place-keeping, public spaces can fall into a
downward spiral of disrepair where anti-social behaviour can emerge
and residents may feel unsafe and choose to use other spaces. The
economic and social costs of restoring such spaces can therefore be
considerable where place-keeping does not occur. Place-Keeping also
provides an accessible presentation of the outputs of a major
European Union-funded project MP4: Making Places Profitable, Public
and Private Open Spaces which further extends the knowledge and
debate on long-term management of public and private spaces. It
will be an invaluable resource for students, academics and
practitioners seeking critical but practical guidance on the
long-term management of public and private spaces in a range of
contexts.
