Transforming Public Spaces through Place-Making

Abstract

Environmental psychology is a reasonably new discipline which has grown out of social psychology and evolved in its own interdisciplinary direction related to anthropology, urban planning and architecture.

Its relation to environmental risks, human spatial behavior and peoples mental and emotional adjustments has lead to place attachment which is a prerequisite of place making

The goal of the field is to solve problem involving human environmental interactions and to create , manage, protect and restore environments that promote proper behavior and to study proper ways of designing towns and places in relation with environmental awareness among people.

This report is an amalgamation of various article readings, literature reviews and surveys conducted in Indian based four different public places in Nagpur and Raipur.

Even though most of the public places have been developed to promote human environment relationship There has not been enough public opinion and interactions taken prior to making the place But interactions like maintaining cleanliness by picking up the litter , planting trees and performing street plays can definitely help in further development of a place.
