2.1 Planting and materials
In the initial stages of the placemaking project, our primary goal was to design public spaces that would not only encourage but also inspire social interaction. Throughout this process, we carefully pinpointed specific locations that we believe will serve as focal points for socialising.
We fully understand and value the importance of gathering input from the community as it is crucial in establishing a strong sense of place and belonging for the residents of Carlisle.
Additionally, we utilised landscape design and planting to ensure that these spaces are visually appealing throughout the year, with special attention given to creating seasonal attractions while maintaining their unique identity during off-peak times through other design elements.
Refer to page 5 which details some of the 10,000 trees, planting and materials used in the project.
