Talking Place Visioning on The Placemakers Podcast /  by Tom Oliver Payne

Great time chatting with Stephen Burton of POMO on the Placemakers Podcast recently. Summary written by Stephen:

“What's the relationship between placemaking and property marketing? From a property developer's point of view, placemaking is a often looked at as a way to differentiate their offering in the market. Is there still a role for community in this process?
