processes of construction in this setting, as a response to
the gaps in urban theory and the stereotyping of specific
types of place through dominant processes of knowledge
production. It also serves to emphasise the creative
elements of human action, and interaction, which are
fundamental to constructing these places, aslocations but
also as sites of meaning. Elsewhere, place-making has
been defined as ‘part of an everyday social process of
constructing and reconstructing space’, both a communicative
process and an individual mental one (Burkner,
2006: 2), highlighting its individual and collective
dimensions.
