Extending placemaking efforts of the Northeast Los Angeles Riverfront Collaborative, a consultant team lead by Mia Lehrer + Associates organized a series of community-centered activities throughout November and December. Placemaking can be described as a comprehensive approach to the planning, design, and management of public space. The main focus of this endeavor was to facilitate and engage the people who live, work, and play within the study area to identify what they value and desire.
Placemaking is a comprehensive approach to the planning, design and management of public spaces. It involves looking at, listening to, and asking questions of the people who live, work and play in a particular space, to discover their needs and aspirations, define a common vision and identify projects that can implement that vision.
