What is Placemaking?
What is Placemaking?
Placemaking is both a vision and a practice — a community-centered approach to shaping public spaces that reflect local identity, foster connection, and improve quality of life. It is a social movement grounded in the idea that everyone deserves engaging, welcoming, and equitable spaces — whether in cities, towns, or rural neighborhoods.
What Does Placemaking Bangladesh Do?
What Does Placemaking Bangladesh Do?
Placemaking Bangladesh identifies the barriers to accessible, inclusive public spaces — and works collectively to address them. Through knowledge sharing, community dialogues, collaborative design, and cultural programming, we activate neglected spaces, raise global awareness, and influence urban decision-making. From seminars to street exhibitions, idea competitions to on-ground projects, we believe better spaces begin with engaged people.
Who Will Be Placemakers?
Who Will Be Placemakers?
Everyone who believes in the value of shared space. Architects, urban designers, engineers, journalists, environmentalists, artists, researchers — and above all, citizens. Placemaking Bangladesh is a platform where knowledge is shared, voices are heard, and local action is celebrated. If you care about the spaces around you, you’re already one of us.

Call for contributions
(Photpgraphy, Illustrations & Motion Stories)
Placemaking Bangladesh, in collaboration with Claymire, invites photographers, illustrators, and filmmakers to participate in Stories on Three Wheels, a creative documentation initiative that explores the cultural and everyday presence of the rickshaw in urban life.
Across many cities, the rickshaw is more than a mode of transportation. It is a moving element of the urban landscape that reflects labor, mobility, memory, and everyday social interaction. Through this call, creatives are invited to observe, document, and interpret the diverse stories that unfold around this three-wheeled companion of the street.
Submissions may capture moments of movement, stillness, work, companionship, and the many quiet narratives embedded within rickshaw culture. Participants are encouraged to approach the subject through their own visual language and perspective.
