Here are potential responses to your questions:
- While keeping the overall design grounded and realistic, incorporating some speculative/futuristic elements could help envision possibilities and spark imagination. Balance is key.
- Designing one flagship space as a proof of concept is realistic, but considering connections to the wider neighborhood context is important for accessibility and community buy-in.
- Reaching out directly to residents for input is ideal, but the council may have privacy concerns. Partnering with local community organizations who already have relationships/trust could be a good alternative for gathering perspectives.
- When contacting residents, framing it as student/academic research for a potential future council project, rather than a definite council initiative, allows for open discussion
An Eden Project Field Guide to working with young peopleEdenProjectWebTeam
Young people are our future. How we treat them is an important indicator of the health and wellbeing of our society. The Eden Field Guide to Working With Young People explains why working with young people is so important and provides advice on how to go about it. This field guide was published by the Eden Project as part of its Big Lunch Extras programme. Find out more at www.biglunchextras.com
Presentation at the Alleviating Poverty through Entreprenuership Summit on February 5, 2010 sponsored by the Fisher School of Business at The Ohio State Universty
The interactive structure of CatalystWest produced clear and concise findings.
Detailed results of the forum’s hacks and real-time polling are included later in this report. The findings summarised here, however, cut to the chase. They illustrate what is occurring in Western Sydney in four key areas: accessibility; sustainability; wellbeing and innovation. And they spell-out what needs to happen next.
These findings and recommendations will be presented to local, state and federal government representatives at the highest levels as a direct message from the people of Western Sydney. They will also be the benchmarks assessed at the next major CatalystWest forum, and monitored with our partners in the intervening period.

Designing for children is better for everyone
Find out how a child-friendly approach to urban planning is vital for the creation of cities that work better for everyone. In our report Designing for urban childhoods, we explain how we can create healthier and more inclusive, resilient and competitive cities for all of us to live, work and grow up in. To showcase our thinking we compiled 40 global case studies, 14 recommended interventions and 15 actions for city leaders, developers and investors and built environment professionals.
In Memory of Alan Dean 1958 - 2021
No one vision is sufficient in and of itself – visions can guide but only by collaborative action in a creative generative process can visions grow and become part of an ongoing positive sociocultural reality.
Without taking into account the many worldviews that currently co-exist and crafting ways of including them in a positive and healthy form we will continue to alienate vast sections of all communities and humankind.
In this webinar we explored what needs to be in place to enable everyone to maintain, rebuild or grow social connections as we age.

Barry Fong, Principal Social Policy Analyst at the Greater London Authority (GLA) will take us through the Survey of Londoners 2021-22. Conducted at the end of 2021, so just before the full effects of the cost-of-living crisis began to set in, it was commissioned to provide vital evidence on key social outcomes for Londoners, following the onset of COVID-19 and associated restrictions.
A similar survey was conducted in 2018-19, so this survey would show how things had changed in the capital since then.
Barry will go through some of the key findings from the survey before handing over to Michael Cheetham and Ellen Bloomer from the North East London Integrated Care Board, who collaborated with local authority partners to fund a sample boost for the survey within North East London. They will explain how they used the data, including the analyses, the results and how this impacted strategy and practice.

How can humanities research contribute to policy 2Noel Hatch
There is always a danger that the humanities are overlooked in favour of the social sciences or ‘hard’ sciences in research-policy engagement, when the former have an important role to play.
The session will provide case studies and a facilitated discussion to better understand the potential implications and challenges for policymakers of engaging with humanities researchers.
The London Strategy and Policy Network and the London Research and Policy Partnership invite you to join a session to explore the contributions that humanities research can make to policy by bringing together humanities researchers and policymakers from across the capital and beyond.

ABOUT LRaPP:
London Research and Policy Partnership (LRaPP) is a new partnership aimed at promoting greater synergy between London government and the academic research community.
The Partnership is evolving among movements bringing universities and local communities, cities and regions closer together - the ‘civic universities agenda’. It encourages universities to use their expertise and organisational resources to address pressing public policy challenges.
There are many examples of London's academics and public sector working together. Yet, most of these relationships develop in an ad hoc way. LRaPP takes a systematic approach through proactive and sustained engagement between the university and government sectors.
London Strategy and Policy Network
This network brings together people working in policy & strategy working in local government across London to learn new insights on cross-cutting issues and new methods in how to develop insight, policy, strategy & change.
This helps them support their organisations make sense of how to tackle issues which cut across various services and that require a whole system approach across local places to tackle.

(2019) ‘Queerness is an ideality’.
Queer theory questions the

Queerness is about the possibility
of an utopian world, refusing the
current order.

In order to create a safer

our design should be
inclusive of everyone.
We are working with the mentality of EMPOWERING, building
on service already available and making them better and
more accessible.
A 15 minute neighbourhood in the future of Newham could
have accessible employment and innovative mental health
services, a welcoming community, and inclusive job
opportunities by including an inclusive Sensory Garden that
provides a multi-sensory experience, queer spaces and
good quality affordable housing options.

Statement
18. Exclusion Segregation Integration Inclusion.
Sameh Wahba, World Bank Global Director for Urban, Disaster Risk
Management, Resilience, and Land (2020) stressed the point that
everyone regardless of gender, identity, age and abilities tend to interact
with public space thoroughly different since we all have different needs,
interests and routines.
Our design of a 15-minute neighbourhood will be inclusive of all of these
different ways of interacting with public space.
Urban planning and design creates
our environment; shaping how we
live, work, play, move, and rest.
19. Six Key Elements for
More Inclusive Cities
1 The Importance of Care Work
Care work is an essential area to maintain the
well being of a community and its
socioeconomic functioning. People in this
sector should have equal and fair job
conditions and it should not affect their
physical and mental health.
2 The Marginalised in the Centre
Minorities in urban spaces should be prioritised.
Urban planning must be particularly focused on
them and their everyday needs. It is more likely
that a city that prioritises the most marginalised
groups to be more suitable for many people as
possible.
3 Symbolism Matters
In urban spaces symbols matter, such as the
names of the streets, statues, buildings, murals,
etc. These encourage empathy and a prosocial
behavior among citizens. Furthermore, the
unrepresented and marginalised groups are
empowered and inspired by the places around
them to play the role they want in their
community.
These points are listed in the Genero e Cidades: Guia Práctico e Interseccional Para
Cidades Mais Inclusivas [Practical and Intersectional Guide to More Inclusive Cities]
by Sarah Gamrani e Clementine Tribouillard. Available from:
https://ambientedomeio.com/2021/01/14/genero-e-cidades-guia-pratico-e-interse
ccional-para-cidades-mais-inclusivas/
4 Changing the Idea of the Specialist
In order to create an inclusive place, the planning
should not be in charge just by professional
specialists or technicians. Residents regardless of
age, gender, ethnicity, religion, physical and cognitive
abilities should participate in the decisions of the
community.
5 All Bodies Matter
It is essential to design spaces for the human body
in all its diversity. All bodies interact differently in
public spaces and these should avoid the binary
thinking that perpetuates segregation. Accessible
urban places stimulate interaction between people
and the environment, generating a positive use of
space and increase urban vitality.
6 Community and Participation
Safety, trust and mutual support are key
elements to create a community. In addition,
encouraging the creation of local businesses
and ventures have a significant long-term
impact, adding personality and identity to the
place.
20. Six main issue areas that need to be considered
in order to avoid inequality, barriers and even
risks when planning public spaces.

spaces free

22. Case Study.
Solarpunk
Solarpunk is an art movement,
speculative genre derived from
Steampunk.
It emerges from the idea to create a
utopian, futuristic and sustainable
world where solar energy is the
symbol of hope and the oppressive
economic forces are rejected
(Lindros, 2019). This reality is
surrounded by the feelings of
cleanliness, abundance, justice,
inclusion and equality.
In the Solarpunk world the
intersectionality of transport, race,
gender, abilities and socioeconomic
level is address, everyone should be
able to transport (Johnson, 2020).
The bike is the predominant form of
public transportation in this world
(Jerreat, 2018).
There is an emphasis in the use of
renewable energies, sustainable
food sources, encouragement of
community autonomy and a
veneration to the beauty of plants.
Solarpunk imagines communities
where gardens are built immersed
into the architecture, added onto
existing buildings or incorporated
into urban planning (Goh, 2018;
Jerreat, 2018; Scheckler, 2018).

Superkilen
Superkilen is a great example of inclusion and
diversity in urban design. It is a public park in Denmark
that incorporates residents’ different nationalities into
its physical design. The people living in the immediate
vicinity of the park represent more than 50 different
nationalities. Instead of including the city objects
usually designated for parks and public spaces,
SUPERFLEX asked people from the area to nominate
objects such as benches, bins, trees, playgrounds,
manhole covers and signage from other countries they
were from or that they had visited.
