Summary

Established by Engage Liverpool and reshaped Landscape Architects, BlueGreen Liverpool was a year-long community-led consultation project to create and enhance public green space. Four years on, the award-winning project has inspired numerous schemes and enabled local residents to continue transforming their own environment. With reference to the project, this session will explore different types of participatory engagement and their merits in engaging isolated and hard to reach groups, and the role that designers can play in turning community ideas into fundable propositions that the local authority will support.
