The aim of the research is to explore the process of shaping place in a planned residential area. The increased livable community will also improve the quality of life. The research is a descriptive explorative with the quantitative and qualitative approach. The exploration of place shaping formation in research sample based on four variables, namely: management strategies, public areas, and activity generators, planning strategies and design strategies. The results of this study found that the process of shaping place in formal housing requires the cooperation of developers, planners, property management and residents. The settlement which can maintain the identity, function, order and appearance of the built environment can improve the livable neighborhood. , UK.

Based on the trend of growth population in urban areas, predicted 65% of the world population would live in urban areas in 2025. For the first time in the history of human settlements, urban dwellers exceed the number of rural residents. The process of globalization and the city changes that occurred resulted from the shifts in the urban system at the local level, the spread of towns and socio-spatial construction changes included in the settlement area. The growth of urban population in developing countries such as Indonesia has happened as a result of urbanization. The symptoms of urban growth like this raise the question, how can the city's growth and development be sustained? How can the citizen continue to grow and fulfill the needs for food, homes, jobs and safety? The livable neighborhood will affect the quality of life. So, to create a high quality of life, we should make some efforts to establish a livable community.The efforts to create a livable neighborhood have a lot to do in the whole world. Stevens (2009) comparing the effort of healthy community design in America and the UK. In America, the feasibility of occupancy has long-term goals to improve environmental sustainability, by increasing the density, mix land use and improving the transportation system. While in the UK, the feasibility of the target occupancy focused on the management and development of space in the dwelling environment than planning a new built environment.The aim of the research is to explore the process of shaping place in a planned residential area. The exploration needs to be done to improve the livable neighborhoods. There are three parts of the paper. The first part describes the background, purpose of the study and literature review. The second part described research methods and the implementation of investigation's process. ...

“…He thought that the quality of public space should have a direct impact on London's beauty, connectivity and safety. Carmona and Wunderlich indicated that the 100 Space strategy showed the limitation of the Mayor's power in the local distribution of the projects in the public realm [12]. They also showed that there were difficulties with public space schemes even when the Mayor had direct responsibility.…”

This article aims to investigate the impact of place-making on the social value attached to two recently developed public squares in London. Empire and Bermondsey developments were developed with the explicit intention to have a public open space that is available for its residents and the surrounding community. Place-making supports the concept of generating places that improve the relationship between users and space, by increasing a sense of place. In this respect, social value is an intangible benefit that can be captured from places that shape community attitude and might often cater to necessary activities but is essential to everyday functions. Based on an extensive review of the literature and empirical work, this article will explore the similarities and differences between these two squares to deliver a better understanding of the reasons behind the urban design as a place-making tool in generating social values attached to physical spaces. These two squares are comparable in size, physical setting and geographical and social context providing unique contexts for socio-spatial analysis. This study follows a case-study approach. For both case studies, there are 100 surveys and 33 semi-structured interviews in total conducted with participants at the squares. Also, many site observations for this study have been taken, in both cases, at different times of the day tracking human movement, activities, spatial qualities, social interactions and spatial interrelations. The data gathered facilitate explicit connections between the behavioural, perceptual and social dimensions. These relationships are essential to understanding the role of urban design in adding social value. This study demonstrates the complex nature of the generation of social value in urban spaces through place-making.
