Day 1. 2 Who are our communities?
Summary
More so than before, the coronavirus pandemic has put greater onus on community engagement, and made us realise we have a responsibility to ensure consultation remains inclusive and harnesses the opportunity to champion social value in our communities. This session will uncover principles for inclusive community engagement for the creation and re-imagining of our public open spaces. It will then highlight through case studies how partnerships with horticulturalists, often as a first form of community engagement, can act as a catalyst to engage and connectwith communities. Great part of our job is also to understand the relation between darkness and safety and security and how lighting could tackle this issue and ASB more in general. This session will also explore how lighting could be not just a design element but a way to engage communities to understand use of the space after dark.
