Exhibition opening: May 26th at 14:00

Participatory design of public spaces, based on the active involvement of residents, is a key tool for creating sustainable communities.

Young people are a group with little involvement in the co-creation of the city. Not due to a lack of desire, but a belief that they don’t have a right or knowledge to contribute.

In the exhibition, we look at the benefits and challenges of participation. We show that it is not only master architects who can change the city, but also young residents. Schools, parks, squares and plazas are among the projects we’re showing, that engaged young people. Involving them in the design triggered a change in the consciousness of young people: we want to participate and we already know how!
