# People and Places International Ltd
People and Places International Ltd is a London-based think tank specialising in community-led regeneration and placemaking. Founded by Dr. Ray Hall in 1972, the organisation develops innovative solutions that strengthen the relationship between people and their physical environments.
The firm serves local authorities, community organisations, private developers and voluntary sector bodies seeking to create vibrant, sustainable communities. They work across diverse geographical contexts, from urban regeneration projects to place-based initiatives, addressing the fundamental challenge of fostering genuine belonging within communities.
What distinguishes PPI is their integrated approach to development. Rather than treating sustainability and social cohesion as separate concerns, they weave these elements together with environmental responsibility at the core. Their methodology emphasises green energy generation and sustainability whilst maintaining local rootedness within a global perspective. Crucially, they facilitate genuine partnership between public, private and voluntary sectors—rejecting siloed approaches in favour of mutually supportive collaboration.
Their portfolio spans multiple successful projects, evidenced by their case studies ranging from landscape-scale initiatives to community facilities and waterfront regeneration. This breadth demonstrates their ability to work at different scales whilst maintaining consistent principles around community engagement and environmental stewardship.
PPI stands out through their principled, holistic philosophy: they don't simply deliver infrastructure or services, but intentionally cultivate spaces where communities develop genuine attachment and agencies work cooperatively towards shared sustainable futures.
