ABSTRACT
Trauma-informed migrant placemaking is a distinct type of placemaking occurring around the globe in local communities undergoing population growth and demographic transition. As borders continue to blur, push factors, such as political instability and religious persecution, and pull factors, such as improved economic opportunities, are increasing migration rates. The reception of migrants, however, is a wide and varied spectrum. All too often newcomers of all kinds face discrimination, legal threats, and harsh living conditions in the tense places they intended to be their refuge.
