	Some practices have a clear agenda for placemaking; for example, the US-based practice PPS (Project for Public Spaces) [http://www.pps.org/ (http://www.pps.org/]) has created an eleven-step approach, closely following the work of William H. Whyte. The company states: "The goal is to create a place that has both a strong sense of community and a comfortable image, as well as a setting and activities and uses that collectively add up to something more than the sum of its often simple parts."

	In contrast, some practices work with a more intuitive interpretation of placemaking, responding to the local context, community and history, as well as the stipulations of the client, to create a tailored placemaking and consultation process.
