As landscape architects and allied design professionals work closely with underserved populations, it is imperative that we employ design processes that prioritize community-led action. This session offers a discourse in engagement, design, and implementation methodologies that empower communities to assert their right of civic ownership over public spaces.
Learn a variety of engagement methodologies that can be used with diverse audiences to build trust, elicit design inspiration, and sustain community consensus.
Analyze the strengths of community-led design in navigating the social, legal, and political intersections between designers, community members, public entities, and private investors.
Discuss alternative methods of design documentation and implementation that are accessible to designers and non-designers alike.
Evaluate the relationship between community-led design and tactical urbanism as an inclusive and intuitive placemaking tool for non-designers.
