Today our movement is global. While placemakers operate in their own unique local contexts, they also scale up their impact by learning, networking, and organizing globally.

Six placemakers from around the world share their exciting work in a series of rapidfire presentations, focusing on how placemakers are connecting the local and the global. Some speakers are organizers, building a regional or global network. Others are practitioners, who have benefitted from ideas and support from around the world. Each has their own take on how the placemaking movement hits the ground in real places.
