The Our Place website helps communities, organisations, local authorities and individuals who want to improve the places where people live, work and spend time. The site supports the Place Principle and brings together information, practical tools and resources in one place. These can help you develop and regenerate places and services that improve health, prosperity, quality of life and the environment.

The site supports the Place Principle and brings together information, practical tools and resources in one place. These can help you develop and regenerate places and services that improve health, prosperity, quality of life and the environment.
The website also hosts the Place Standard tool— a free, award-winning tool that helps you assess the quality of a place and take action to improve it. Guidance and resources are available to help you get the most out of it.
The Place Standard tool is a free, easy-to-use tool developed in Scotland. It helps you work with communities and partners to understand the quality of a place and identify where improvements can be made. Planning authorities and communities across Scotland have used it to support planning and plan development.
A range of supporting resources are also available to help more people use the tool and explore specific issues — such as climate change — in more depth.
