360 DEGREE PLACEMAKING
Are you a high performing Corporate on a mission to deliver meaningful social value in your communities?
Or maybe you’re a public sector innovator committed to placemaking excellence but don’t feel you have all the right skills or connections to do it alone?
Our 360° Placemaking products support people to be at the very centre of creating great places. We bring the public and private sectors together, creating an ‘innovation platform’ to work on practical projects which tackle social challenges and create lasting legacies.
PLACEMAKING APPROACH
We can help you hold the space for big thinking…along with the methodology and support to deliver it. We bring passionate people together through ambitious projects which seek to solve shared challenges through local action.
Key placemaking principles
→ Start with people and relationships.
→ Explore the intersections where the needs of communities and businesses come together.
→ Inspire and connect with our network of public and private sector organisations as a catalyst for social change.
→ Take small steps, share resources and learn by doing.
→ Create entrepreneurial spaces which support new ways of thinking and spark innovation.
Projects evolve and scale over time, more dots join, and new opportunities emerge - this all contributes to the creation of a dynamic and connected 360 Degree Society.
Through approaching projects from a 360 Degree perspective and bringing the private and public sectors side-by-side, we can truly address social inequality through the creation of well-designed environments, delivering sustainable jobs and economic growth over the long term.
Here's an example of how we ‘joined the dots' to make a genuine difference for local people and businesses in South Yorkshire.
