Common Ground: Game Plans for Neighbourhood Co-Creation

Thursday September 26, 2024 14:30 - 15:45 CEST

Initiating bottom-up change in the city through transforming neighbourhood spaces into places of collective production, use and governance entails multiple phases: forming a consortium of stakeholders, activating a space, addressing organisational, programmatic, design and governance aspects. Our session simulates a placemaking process facilitated in a two-phase interactive role-playing workshop that invites participants to create self-organised scenarios for co-design and co-governance of neighbourhood spaces.

Phase 1: THE COMMON CATALOGUE EXPERIMENT
Participants assume roles of urban actors with different interests and levels of influence. The session explores effective coalitions for bottom-up development and their ability to achieve communal goals. Imagine a game of “Clue”, but the mystery is “who will decide the fate of our common urban spaces?”.

Phase 2: COMMONING THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
The formed coalitions of actors co-create solutions for designing and governing neighbourhood common spaces that meet their communal needs. Following a card-game roadmap, they explore effective programmatic and design aspects that foment the sustainability of the common spaces over time.

The workshop inspires participants to pursue local change in their community and empowers them with skills and tools to achieve community-driven local development: from forming sustainable coalitions, to achieving their common visions through negotiations and trade-offs.

Co-Creating Social & Green Places for Outdoor Work

Thursday September 26, 2024 16:15 - 17:30 CEST

Gemaal op Zuid Orangerie

Outdoor work and appealing workspaces outdoors foster creativity, social interactions, and well-being, while enriching a city's network of public spaces. This workshop focuses on collaboratively designing green and sociable outdoor work areas and raising awareness about their importance.

The session highlights the overlooked aspect of placemaking and vibrant cities: work and workplaces. As an example, 1 out of 10 companies are located in one of the 3800 business parks in the Netherlands and almost a third of the jobs can be found in such environments.

In the session participants get insights about the benefits of outdoor work by the founder of Outdoor Office Day Ioana Biris and how the movement promotes sustainable urban design, a more creative working culture, well-being and nature connection. Päivi Raivio & Daniel Bumann from Parkly, an innovative urban furniture company creating green and social places, will present how green modular pocket parks have changed outdoor spaces in work and study environments and present solutions for turning grey spaces into vibrant places.

The interactive workshop session focuses on co-creating guidelines and ideas for great, connected outdoor working environments. A light hand book will be published after Placemaking Week by the session team.
