Japanese term or phrase: 居場所づくり
This is one part of a community building project.

I can understand the meaning but I can't think of a concise term in English.

Thank you for your help!

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I agree with it, but the problem is that the paper as a whole is about "community building," of which 居場所づくり is a more specific element.

Asker: Thanks. Asylum building! The meaning is good, I just wonder about negative connotations of the word "asylum"

Asker: Sanctuary might work actually.

Asker: Thank you for the link. I've decided to go with "developing socially inclusive spaces."

Creating community spaces; Building communal areas


Explanation:
Perhaps "Creating community spaces" "Building communal areas"?
If you put up the whole sentence, we can see the context better.

In that case - I think "built environment" works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built_environment

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I don't have much context: いきいき協働事業(平成27年実施はまちの居場所づくり・省エネ). I think it may need to be more specific, i.e. building inclusive environments or something like that.
