Introducing Tessy Britton
Climate change, political upheaval, inequality, global pandemics, the list goes on... How do we come together as people, as humanity, to find ways through this man-made maze?
A participatory city is where citizens play a key role to create the change they wish to see - rather than suggesting ideas for someone else to potentially create that change.
In today's episode - part one of two - we'll be talking with Tessy Britton, who is the key driver behind this participatory cities approach in the UK.
Plus you'll hear from Hamish Lindop - a New Zealander inspired to adopt the Participatory Cities approach in his work with Auckland Council.
In today’s episode you’ll learn:
- What a participatory cities approach looks like and how it has the potential to impact communities
- Why the Participatory Cities team describe the approach as "a platform"
- The positives outcomes from intentionally participating in your own communities and neighbourhoods and what that can look like
- How we can learn from this approach in the UK and transform it to work within our own backyard.
