Abstract: *Common Place: Towards Neighborhood and Regional Design* examines how urban planning, community development, and policy can work together to create more equitable, sustainable, and connected communities. With a foreword by Seattle Mayor Norman B. Rice, the book focuses on Washington State, particularly the Puget Sound region. Divided into three parts—Theory, Design, and Policy—it offers a holistic approach: exploring the concepts behind place-making, presenting practical design strategies, and outlining supportive policy tools. Blending theory with real-world examples, the book serves as a valuable resource for planners, policymakers, and community leaders committed to improving neighborhoods and regions through thoughtful design.
