What
Exploring the design of public spaces that enhance and foster social interaction and civic participation while promoting the growth and well-being of local communities.
“If you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic. If you plan for people and places, you get people and places.”
To evolve, cities must be viewed as platforms, with populations encouraged to utilise technology to creatively disrupt and redefine core functionalities.
Why
As we delve into the interplay between public spaces, technology and design, it becomes evident that addressing these challenges requires a cross-disciplinary strategy for redesigning systems and a comprehensive understanding
of designing tools that empower all parties involved.
Because 'wicked problems' cannot be solved by traditional,
top-down approaches alone, as they involve multiple stakeholders with conflicting interests and values.
How
By investigating the potential of integrating both immaterial and material design methods to seamlessly blend technology, the natural environment, and human interactions for a positive outcome.
Tackling complex issues requires a systemic approach that brings together multiple stakeholders from different sectors and disciplines.
By evolving how we use and share data, a new generation
of informed decision-makers will be able to transform our communities.
