MIPIM 2017: what is the value of placemaking?

The destinations we most value around the world have a strong sense of place. But in challenging times should developers feel compelled to deliver more than the minimum infrastructure and facilities needed, especially when the initial outlay can be 50% more than the basic model? What is the link between placemaking and creative people - that prized commodity to global cities? And should placemaking and the pressure to deliver, be reconciled?
