At Place Focus we are experiencing growing demand for place based tourism.

We are currently developing a star rating system for places. This would focus on the quantitative components of urban design and placemaking.

We are also developing a polling booth for you to vote for your favourite place.

In the mean time we have selected a few from around Australia which we have photographed at My Favourite Place.

We share the practical, proven skills and techniques that used together, create quality places through urban design and planning.

We call these tools and techniques "place skills". We believe that, anyone can learn these and apply them successfully, helping them make the very most of the places they are creating.

To achieve our mission, we offer authoritative, well-researched, easily-understood place making information, presented in formats that you'll find highly accessible and cost-effective. To this end, our material is instantly available online, our community is accessible throughout the world, and we have coaches able to help you with your place making, wherever you are and at whatever time suits you.
