Abstract: Place branding is the idea of discovering or creating some uniqueness, which differentiates
one place from others in order to gain a competitive brand value. This article is not about the
concepts or justifications but about how it is actually done at the local level, especially as part of
broader conventional place management policies. Three main local planning instruments are
widely used throughout the world in various combination in diverse places, each of which is
described and exemplified here. These are first, personality association, where places associate
themselves with a named individual, from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport
or even mythology, in the hope that the necessarily unique qualities of the individual are
transferred by association to the place. Secondly, the visual qualities of buildings and urban design
is an instrument of place-branding available to local planners. This could include flagship building,
signature urban design and even signature districts. Thirdly, event hallmarking is where places
organise events, usually cultural or sporting, in order to obtain a wider recognition that they exist
but also to establish specific brand associations. Lessons are drawn from practice about the
importance of combining these instruments and integrating them into wider planning and
management strategies.
