Like people, all places carry stories. Through our story-based approach to place-making, we listen to both the buildings and spaces and the stories and memories that people carry with them. By harnessing the historic and contemporary values of a place and its stories, we create sustainable value for the future.
People’s identities are often closely linked to places and, conversely, people’s relationships with places are an important part of how they are perceived. The more memories we have of a place, the stronger our connection. If we feel strongly about a place, we are more likely to inhabit and care for it. The sense that we are contributing to the development of life in a place strengthens social sustainability.
By focusing on both tangible and intangible values, we create the conditions for working with place development in a way that harnesses and strengthens the identity of the place.
