Abstract
This paper explores the role of community-based facilities management (CbFM) in the revitalisation and utilisation of heritage sites, focusing primarily on government-owned urban heritage sites in Botswana, particularly those that are facing dilapidation and/or obsolescence. In addition, it discusses CbFM through the confluence of its main pillars with that of placemaking. Existing research points to the insufficiency in the literature concerning an in-depth investigation into heritage CbFM that integrates placemaking principles in cities of the global South. The paper argues for and presents a theoretical framework that outlines the confluence of CbFM and placemaking for the holistic management and revitalisation of built heritage sites in the context of Botswana.
