Placemaking is the process of creating great places that attract people because they are pleasurable, interesting and offer the chance to see other people. The end result of placemaking is the development of great public places, such as squares, plazas, parks, streets, and waterfronts.

فن/صناعة خلق الأماكن


Explanation:
I guess this is one of those terms which you have to cloak with some other word, in order to make it clearer or more comfortable.

إقامة (إنشاء) الأماكن(المزارات) الاجتماعية


Explanation:
I think الاجتماعية is the word.
considering:

"...Placemaking is characterized by a focus on activities, management, community, and sociability, as opposed to architectural or landscape design..."

فن صناعة الأماكن العامة


Explanation:
I think a good translation can be " فن صناعة الأماكن العامة"
و ذلك قياسا على "فن صناعة السينما و خلافه
and
because this translation is more inclusive of both "finding the pace" as well as "designing/building it".More over,I have to say "الأماكن العامة" not "المرافق العامة" because the word "المرافق"is so wide as it extends to include rail and land transport services,public hospitals as well as water/power supply services and buildings which is not meant at all by the term "placemaking"
