Venue
Access
Accessible bathroom, All gender bathroom, Wheelchair accessibleThis panel discussion explores how city-shaping built environment projects are evolving to increasingly engage and collaborate with community and various stakeholders. Amongst our many societal challenges, harnessing collective intelligence presents an opportunity to create outcomes that are reflective of both the people who will use the space, and the place itself, to sustain healthier and stronger communities.
The discussion will touch on the methodology of engagement, collaboration and co-design, the challenges and the benefits, and how this process contributes to civic environments that are ethical, energy conscious and ecologically positive. Accompanying the panel discussion will be an exhibition of related architecture and landscape architecture works.
