Attributes of successful place-making in knowledge and innovation spaces: evidence from Brisbane's Diamantina knowledge precinct

Place making in knowledge and innovation spaces is a challenging task for planners and designers due to the lack of competent conceptual frameworks and design guidelines. To address this issue, the study adopts a qualitative methodological approach to carry out an empirical investigation in a case study from Brisbane, Australia—i.e., Diamantina Knowledge Precinct. This investigation is guided by a conceptual framework derived from the interdisciplinary literature review. Interviews, supported with various data sources, are conducted among a range of key stakeholders. The findings reveal the key design attributes and considerations for successful place making in knowledge and innovation spaces
