PLACE
![Page 8: #43 How Placemaking Can Transform Transit Stations and Institutions into Vibrant, Multimodal Public Spaces - Nikitin](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042623/5479d61fb379593a2b8b48a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Placemaking is a process that fosters the creation of vital, multi-use public destinations. These multi-use destinations are not defined just by architecture or design features, but rather by the public uses and activities that engage people's participation within he space and encourage them to return again and again. Placemaking leverages the investments in existing infrastructure as well as a broad range of local assets. Through the combination of lower-cost, short term physical improvements, combined with public space programming, the use and perception of public space can be transformed.
What is Placemaking?

• Real estate near train stations becomes more valuable
• Opportunities for partnering with other agencies, cities and civic groups
• A sense of ownership is generated in the community
• Transit investments and assets are leveraged to achieve community benefits
