Description
Trauma Informed Placemaking offers an introduction to understanding trauma and healing in place. It presents insights that researchers and practitioners can apply to their work, drawing from a global cohort of place leaders and communities.
The book introduces the ethos and application of the trauma-informed approach to working in place, exploring historical and contemporary trauma, including its impact on placemakers. It also highlights the potential of place and practitioners to heal, offering 20 original frameworks, toolkits, and learning exercises across 33 chapters.
Organised into four sections, the book leads the reader to an awareness of how trauma and healing operate in place. With a focus on moving from trauma-informed practice to healing in place, this book is essential reading for those interested in people and places, including students, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community development workers.
