Thinking

On this page, we share some of our own writing and articles by others we think contribute to our field of placemaking. We feel this is important to foster learning, growth and reflection. Placemaking is a term that’s starting to gain greater awareness around the world. Gap Filler has been doing this work for since 2010 and in the early days, we didn’t use this term at all! Have a read and get in touch if you’ve got any thoughts.
