Place Summit Highlights
What turns a “space” into a “place”?
A space is an open area that exists without inherent meaning or connection to people. It’s neutral, waiting to be defined by use, purpose, or experience.
A place, is a space that has been given meaning through human interaction, design, and cultural significance.
Places are where people connect, engage, and build relationships with their community.
They evoke emotion, foster connection, and serve a function – Places represent purpose.
What to Expect
The ULI NWA Place Summit is a three-day gathering that brings together land use and built environment professionals who are passionate about creating exceptional places.
This annual convergence of inspiration is an incubator of new ideas, and a network for those passionate placemaking individuals striving to create quality places that people want to live, work, play, and learn in.
The summit is open anyone who shares an interest in the built environment and shaping the future of our cities.
