Here’s a sneak peek from a talk I’m giving in a few weeks about placemaking for local businesses. In this diagram, I’m borrowing the structure from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to talk about the foundational elements of creating stickiness and place attachment.

My thinking around this work lately has been influenced by perpetual re-reads of Happy City by Charles Montgomery, Kelton Wright’s Ecology of Belonging, and the Transformative Cities framework by Josephine Yilan Liu.
