Description
This is a blended module, which will equip you with the skills to facilitate co-design processes, better enable civic engagement and involve communities in decision-making. You will learn the skills through (online) lectures and apply these skills to practice through the collaboration with community groups in London.
Civic engagement is now considered to be a key process in urban design and planning practice. For avoiding "box-ticking" engagement processes that do not genuinely involve communities in decision making, it is essential to learn and experience how to work in collaboration with communities.
Delivered in collaboration with community groups across London and with contributions from practitioners, this module will:
- Equip you with methods and tools to facilitate co-design processes, enable civic engagement and involve communities in decision-making.
- Expose you to the direct experience of working in collaboration with community groups.
- Undertake a group project together with a London community group. The brief for the module will be previously agreed with the community groups and it will address some of the current needs of the community. The project is guided by tutors and offers you the opportunity to learn through direct experience of including communities in the decision-making process.
