I have often argued that ‘place-making’ never creates a sense of place, its very curated sense of place aiming for a particular aesthetic and value while ignoring many other realities. A designed public space allows for only certain kinds of activities while actively discouraging differences. I doubt whether our historic ‘flaneur’ would ever be accepted in these places.
