Abstract

Currently, urban design can employ the concept of adaptive placemaking to understand how cities and urban environments evolve over time. Placemaking is crucial for promoting community involvement, strengthening social bonds, and boosting the overall quality of life. This study depicts adaptive placemaking in urban contexts, exploring the dynamic interaction between societies and urban environments. The study is based on theoretical and methodological reflection on merging resilience concepts with placemaking principles issued by PPS which results in three main parameters: Environmental, Social, and Connectivity. Those are the extracted Relationship-based parameters. Then, a pilot study for six different urban development projects across different cities with different strategies is assessed based on the proposed method to evaluate each project's success in responsive adaptive placemaking. The methodology includes qualitative assessment of project outcomes and Harvey Balls scoring. The study reveals variations of success across different parameters. Environmental factors show the most deviation, while social parameters, particularly public participation, demonstrate strong performance across most projects. However, connectivity scores average results. The research uniquely combines a multi-parameter evaluation framework that contributes to the growing knowledge on creating adaptive urban environments that can respond to changing societal needs and environmental challenges over time. However, limitations include incomplete data for some parameters and the challenge of generalizing findings across different cultural and geographic contexts. Thus, the study offers practical insights for urban planners and policymakers on creating resilient, and livable cities.
