Placemaking & Urban Design
One-Day Course

Date:       Wednesday 31 May 2023
Time:       9.30am - 5.00pm
Location: Hoyne, 5/99 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2000


   






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.
