Abstract
This paper focuses on the role of nature in placemaking within historic cities. There are two different approaches to placemaking – The first is a more traditional approach, i.e. complete building process which entails significant investments. The second is “Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” approach proposed by the Project for Public Spaces organization. This article discusses the role, importance and place of nature in both approaches. The arguments are provided for making of a place to serve as a refuge from stressful urban life conditions within the limits of national heritage areas. The placemaking efforts in historic town centers bring additional challenges. Fortunately, the aesthetisation with plants improves the living conditions of local inhabitants without changing historic urban fabric. The design of temporary installations on the TargWęglowy in Gdańsk by Gdyby group in August 2013, and the action called “Adopt a planter!” by organization Namestie pre ludi in Bratislava will be used to discuss good practices of temporary interventions.
