MTalks—It takes a village: Empathy and agency in designing our cities

It takes a village to build a better city! Listen in to short presentations from various designers and experts who spoke about their experiences in urbanism and the future potential of their disciplines. Following this, the discussion moved onto a ‘citizen-sourced’ design workshop where people and panellists worked together to draw, model and list the future city they wish to see and why. It’s easy for individual experiences of cities to go unheard, yet people experience cities in many different ways. This event highlighted the depth and power of tapping into the collective experience of local citizens.
