Placemaking & Urban Design
One-Day Course

Date: Friday 10 June 2022
Time: 9.00am - 5.00pm
Location: Ethos Urban Offices,
173 Sussex Street, Sydney

Placemaking should be a critical consideration in any development. When urban design is done well, it adds layers of interest and vitality to a project, produces healthy outcomes for users and residents, and creates a commercial edge in the marketplace. For developers, this distinguishes individual projects from competitors and translates to higher price points. It also enhances an organisation’s reputation in the community.
