Placemakers

Placemakers is a series of documentary films exploring the people who made the connection between public places built in the later half of the 20th century and their impact on American culture. Some of the most influential people in land development during this time were Jim Rouse, Walt Disney, Steve Wynn, Donald Trump, Frank Lloyd Wright and Edmund Bacon. Their vision, imagination and perseverance changed the way we shop, the way we relax and vacation, the way we dine out, and the way we live. Countless aspects of our every day lives have been shaped and influenced by their passion for building meaningful environments that enhance people’s lives.
