| dc.description.abstract | This paper explores the use of environmental issues to stimulate placemaking in urban areas challenged by socio-environmental matters. Considering that placemaking is a collaborative process by which one can shape public spaces in order to maximize shared values, it can involve more than just promoting better urban design, but also facilitating innovative patterns of use, with particular attention to the physical, cultural, and social identities that define a place and support its continuous integration with the city (Jacobs 1961; Altman & Setha 1992; Gehl 2010). In recent years, citizens collectives concerned with socio-environmental issues are starting bottom-up initiatives all over the world. Often, they start from creative individuals who share values and ideas with groups and practice placemaking, as well as other temporary projects that connect local citizens in a transdisciplinary and collaborative network. Mostly, they are people who are able to establish connections (Boonstra 2015). At the same time, local authorities in Europe are looking for effective urban renewals moving toward sustainable regeneration in urban areas (URBACT 2015). Environmental issues are increasingly being used as an integrative core for social and economic dimensions through local authorities’ top-down strategies combined with bottom-up citizen initiatives (Friedman & Weaver 1980), through a sort of bottom-linked citizen participation (Eizaguirre et al 2012). | |
