While conceptualized narrowly by individual disciplines, a holistic framework of placemaking is sorely missing. Mahyar Arefi seeks to fill this gap by exploring these questions: how are places physically created, socially mobilized, and politically contested? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores three competing approaches to placemaking: need-based, opportunity-based, and asset-based.
