'15 Fellows from the Philippines from September 26 to October 10, attended a professional development program on Placemaking. The program is based on and inspired by the successful Placemaking Sandbox model, which aims to strengthen research partnerships with and increase the capacities of built environment professionals and research leaders in industry, community, and the government, and provide them with practice-based training in Placemaking.
