What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is a multidisciplinary approach to turning ordinary spaces into liveable, lovable places that people feel connected to. When done right, it strengthens community ties and spirit and transforms a neighbourhood, a district, a city, and a country.
NUS SCALE offers a suite of specialised Placemaking courses that cover distinct and complementing aspects of Placemaking. These courses can be stacked to form Professional Certificates in Vibrant Places and Community Management, and a further Advanced Professional Certificate. Read more Here.
