\n<\/span>The Placemaking Awards recognise and publicise projects, plans, people and organisations that are making places better. Open to individuals and organizations in planning, regeneration, economic development, urban design, sustainable development and community development.<\/p>\n

The aim of the Placemaking Awards is to be as inclusive as possible for the Built Environment, to showcase not just projects that have come to fruition but also ideas, plans and the people and consultancies behind the process of planning and to highlight all aspects of the Built Environment including the best practice that each and every planner has at the core of their work.<\/p>\n

The Princes Regeneration Trust writes:
\n<\/span>Middleport Pottery in Stoke-on-Trent, the home of world-renowned Burleigh ware, has won another national award \u2013 its second in under a month.<\/p>\n

The Pottery beat off fierce competition from major redevelopment projects across the country, including the revived King\u2019s Cross Station in London, to win a prestigious Placemaking Award\u00a0for the best use of heritage in place-making.\u00a0 The Placemaking Awards, organised by built environment trade magazine Planning<\/em>, aim to recognise projects and organisations that make places better, covering regeneration, planning, economic development and urban design.<\/p>\n
