One Bangkok, together with Shma and the we!park, invites everyone to be part of a journey from "Participation" to "Placemaking" — a place-creation process built on the belief that a Space becomes a meaningful, living Place only when people take part in shaping it together. Over the past 19 years, Shma has viewed placemaking as a process that requires understanding people, context, nature, and the relationships that occur within a space, from the level of daily life up to the level of the city.
