489. AR إشراك المجتمعات في عملية تطوير المدن - Massa Al Moselly
في هذه الحلقة، نستكشف مفهوم "إشراك المجتمعات" في عملية تطوير المدن، ودوره في بناء مدن أكثر عدلاً واستدامة. سنناقش أبرز الآليات التي يمكن استخدامها لإشراك المجتمعات المحلية في اتخاذ القرارات المتعلقة بالتخطيط الحضري، وكيف تختلف هذه الأدوات بناءً على طبيعة وحجم المجتمع.
نتعمق في التحديات التي تواجه إشراك المجتمعات في العالم العربي، مع تسليط الضوء على الواقع في سوريا. كما نتحدث عن أهمية تعزيز الوعي لدى الأفراد حول هذا النهج ودور مخططي المدن والمتخصصين في تصميم أدوات فعالة لتحقيق مشاركة حقيقية.
سنجيب عن أسئلة مثيرة مثل: هل يمكن لإشراك المجتمع أن يقدم حلولاً أفضل لتحديات المدن مقارنة بخبرة المهندسين والدولة؟ وما القيمة المضافة التي يقدمها هذا الإشراك؟
وأخيراً، نتناول أمثلة ملهمة من مشاريع محلية وعالمية ناجحة، ونتساءل: هل يكفي إشراك المجتمعات وحده لإحداث التغيير المطلوب؟ أم أن هناك عوامل أخرى يجب أن تتكامل لتحقيق النجاح؟
انضموا إلينا في هذه الحلقة لاستكشاف أهمية إشراك المجتمعات في رسم مستقبل المدن العربية.

Episode 3 of 3, in collaboration with Podcasts Urban Acupuncture.
About Podcasts Urban Acupuncture:
Acupuncture works with energy flows (Qì), and is mainly about distributing energy and restoring connections in the flow of energy in someone. By placing small needles or vacuum bulbs in specific places on the body, a person regains balance.
Urban acupuncture essentially works the same. Through targeted interventions in certain places by residents, entrepreneurs, developers, government, or anyone else, connections in cities and towns are strengthened and the energy starts flowing again. Not only at the location itself but also in the energy channel of which that location is part. This intervention has an impact on the environment! Part of the city is brought back into balance! This is often a physical-spatial intervention by investors (bricks/stone or public space), but it can also be periodically recurring events such as a festival, markets, etc.

Short about Rosanna's workshop during Placemaking Week Europe in Rotterdam:
Waterfront Worldbuilding: Creative Foresight to tackle Critical Coastal Challenges
The future of our waterfronts and coastal regions will determine the future of our world. Flooding and sea-level rises will impact billions around the world. Drawing tools from the world of speculative design and filmmaking, a cohort of 20 placemakers from around the world joined us to gaze out across the water, imagining a world on the shores of a distant future where the waterfront shapes new ways to experience nature and culture in the city. Using a playful ‘dispatches from the future’ worldbuilding method tackle critical challenges facing waterfront regions, we introduced placemakers to the value of building long term futures-thinking into their process, providing tools to become more critical, confident, and imaginative.

About their panel in the placemaking week:
The panel will present different perspectives on the actions of the Placemaking Latin America Network, established in 2017, which brings together more than 300 professionals, activists, and academics, and has already held 6 international meetings. The panel focuses on the views of different stakeholders regarding the possibilities of small-scale transformation of the Latin American reality, a continent marked by enormous social contrasts where citizen urbanism is a powerful tool for altering the status quo. In this context, the particularities of placemaking in Latin America are highlighted in relation to the Global North. Citizen urbanism will be discussed by different voices - academia, civil society organizations, government, international organizations - from different countries - Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Panama - a plurality of contexts that, however, reveal common challenges and weaknesses. Challenged by great inequalities and scarce resources, citizen urbanism emerges as a tool for local transformation, within the reach of the communities themselves. A small-scale action, carried out in collaboration with citizens in less favored contexts, has the potential to go far beyond "space activation”. From the South, we come to open the conversation about the political potential of citizen urbanism, exploring from different cases what is the capacity for social, environmental, economic, and cultural transformation.

About their workshop during Placemaking week:
Our workshop, “Common Ground: Game Plans for Neighbourhood Co-Creation,” brought together an incredible group of urbanists, designers, researchers, and community leaders and focused on self-coordinated formations of stakeholder consortiums and decentralised governance of shared resources through a hands-on role-playing game.
Our workshop was structured as a two-phase interactive role-playing game where participants assumed different roles within urban ecosystems. The task was to collaboratively define a project space, negotiate value and costs, and arrive at shared solutions for multi-use common. Throughout the process, participants tackled real-world challenges, such as shared resources and balancing competing priorities.

469. The 1.5-minute Place - Kristen Zupancic and Josef Conning
Josef Conning (Urbanist and strategist, Sweden) and
Kristen Zupancic (Founder, Plot Twist Placemaking, Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands)
Kristen and Josef facilitated a session where they promoted the concept of the "1.5-minute place", and in the workshop participants created dynamic and vibrant places based on that concept. Bringing the core principles of the 15-minute city down to a much smaller scale, the basic idea behind the 1.5-minute place is about mixing different functionalities in the same place. When places offer multiple functionalities and facilitate several experiences, they tend to be more relevant to a more diverse group of people, attract people throughout different times of the day, and increase the bandwidth of the emotional connections people form to them.

The Book
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CPB49Y4Dhttps://genderedcity.org
The NetworkFEM. DES
https://genderedcity.org/fem-deshttps://femurbanatlas.com
Nourhan Bassam is a feminist urbanist and architect with a Ph.D. in Urban Design and Placemaking. She is the founder of The Gendered City, an initiative that began as a book and has grown into an organization dedicated to building gender-equal cities through feminist placemaking and active citizen participation. Nourhan also launched FEM.DES., the world's largest feminist design network, bringing together over 350 experts from more than 35 countries to support and advance gender-equitable urban environments.
The Gendered City collaborates with numerous global partners, including UN-Habitat's HERCITY, and primarily focuses on social justice in the built environment through its parent organization, GamingX. As a research professor, Nourhan mentors Master's students in placemaking and feminist spatialities, guiding the next generation of urban thinkers. Her book, The Gendered City explores the challenges women face in urban spaces and has been sold in over 23 countries around the world. Her upcoming book, Feminist Spatialities, will analyze 50 feminist projects in cities, further expanding the conversation on inclusive urban design."
The Gendered City Book How Cities Keep Failing WomenThe Gendered City book aims to illuminate the intricate richness and complexities of urban lives by exploring the experiences of diverse groups, encompassing women, men, and various identities. Through this exploration, we seek to understand the interconnectedness between urban environments and gendered experiences. Employing an intersectional feminist lens to analyze the physical structures of the built environment. Dismantling gender as a rigid category and examining how it influences our interactions and encounters with the world. Gender is not an immutable or homogeneous construct; it intersects with other social categories such as race, class, and sexuality. This intersectionality reveals how these diverse identity dimensions overlap and intersect, resulting in unique experiences of oppression and privilege for individuals.Drawing inspiration from those who have paved the way, we aspire to a world where individuals can thrive irrespective of their gender, sexuality, ethnicity, or background. We envision cities as places of hope, potential, transformation, and innovation.

Naser Hasso (Stadsplanerare & student vid Karlstads Universitet)
Vi pratar om Nasers examensarbete.
Studien undersöker hur lekplatser i urbana miljöer kan anpassas för barn med synnedsättningar. Nedan kan ni ta del av de rekommendationer som studien har kommit fram till. Alla rekommendationer och parametrar är viktiga att ta i beaktning vid planering och utformning av lekplatser i urbana miljöer.
Tillgänglighet: Taktila informationstavlor och kartor informerar barn med synnedsättningar om lekplatsens utformning och vilka lekaktiviteter som finns på platsen.
Användarvänlighet: Lättanvänd och informativ resurs.
Inkluderande design: Informationstavlor och kartor som kan användas av barn som förlitar sig på andra sinnen än synen.
Trygghet: Förbättrar rumsuppfattningen för barn med synnedsättningar, vilket minskar risken för skador genom att informera om lekutrustningens placering och användning.

465. The city of Happy Proximity - Seunghoon Han
Seunghoon HAN (City DesignerAffiliation : Chaire ETI (Entrepreneurship Territory Innovation) at IAE Paris Sorbonne University)
The "Happy Proximity" concept is an idea in urbanism that emphasizes the benefits of having essential services, amenities, and social interactions within a short distance from where people live. It revolves around designing cities and neighborhoods in ways that enable residents to meet their daily needs—such as work, shopping, recreation, and socializing—without the need for long commutes.
This approach seeks to enhance quality of life by fostering walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods that encourage walking, cycling, and public transport. It aligns with goals of sustainable urban development, creating more livable and socially connected communities, reducing reliance on cars, and promoting environmental sustainability. By focusing on accessibility and convenience, "Happy Proximity" aims to make cities not only functional but also enjoyable and fulfilling for their inhabitants.
It shares similarities with the "15-minute city" concept, where all necessities are accessible within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. However, "Happy Proximity" places more emphasis on the emotional and social well-being that results from being close to places and people that matter.

457. Bloomberg’s Asphalt Art Initiative - David Andersson
David Andersson (Arts & Culture Team at Bloomberg Associates, Brooklyn, New York, USA)
ABOUT THE ASPHALT ART INITIATIVE: Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative responds to the growing number of cities around the world embracing art as an effective and low-cost strategy to improve street safety and create vibrant public spaces. The initiative has supported 90 projects in North America and Europe that have transformed a combined 612,000 square feet of streetscape with artwork while engaging nearly 13,000 residents and volunteers and 370 artists in the design and installation process. More info is available here.
ASPHALT ART INITIATIVE IMPACTS: Data shows that asphalt art projects can lead to clear benefits, including a dramatic reduction in traffic crashes and unsafe driving, revitalized public space, and community engagement. The 2022 Asphalt Art Safety Study found traffic safety to be demonstrably improved across a cohort of 22 asphalt art projects in the U.S. The study results showed a 50% drop in the rate of crashes involving pedestrians or cyclists and a 27% increase in the rate of drivers yielding to pedestrians with the right of way.

456. A summer vacation in Playground Paradise - Mustafa Sherif
Helsingborg City in southern Sweden has transformed into a playful city. Over the past decade, the city has invested in numerous thematic playgrounds. These have encouraged school students, kindergarteners, and adults with their children to explore different parts of the city, breaking out of their usual social and neighborhood "bubbles."
What a smart investment and city development strategy Helsingborgs stad.
I spent my summer vacation in Helsingborg and visited these playgrounds with my niece and nephew. As an urbanist interested in making cities for children and all people, I asked parents, caregivers, and even some of their children what draws them to these thematic playgrounds. Here are their responses:
-Creative, colorful designs with stories to tell
-Movable benches with tables
-Clean WC-Drinking water station
-Play equipment that’s large enough for adults to join in with their children
-Accessibility via public transportation
-Bicycle parking
-Open urban design that offers good visibility of different play areas, allowing parents to keep an eye on their children
📍 Here are my favorite playgrounds with links to Google Maps. Add Helsingborg City to your list of To-Visit destinations:
🐘Jungle Playground
🏘 Medieval Playground
🦖 Dinosaurs Playground
🏰 Princess and Monsters Playground
🦈Surfing playground

About Chero
Chero Eliassi graduated with a Master´s degree in Landscape Architecture in 2019 at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala. Eliassi has worked since 2021 as a doctoral student in Jennifer Mack's research project entitled 'Parks around the Towers: Landscape as Resource in the Urban Periphery from the Record Years to the Future'. From a historical perspective, the research investigates how the outdoor environments of the Million Programme have been transformed, used, and formed after the record years (1961-1975) and how these landscapes can be viewed as a part of the Swedish cultural heritage.
With the title '“A Culture of Place” in Swedish Allotments: Gardens as Therapy and Threat in Holma, Malmö', Eliassi captures and investigates how cultivation in and adjacent to Million Programme areas have created social and therapeutic values, as well as a sense of collective belonging. The research is based on on-site studies in Malmö and other Swedish cities.
In 'Voices and Visions of Norrlidsparken', Eliassi explores the welfare neighborhood park in Norrliden: Norrlidsparken. The research begins with a microhistory of the sand in the park, what values it has registered, and what it has witnessed since the park was constructed. Further, it presents Norrlidsparken’s transformations from the early 1970s – in the form of physical, spatial, social, and material changes; planning regulations and guidelines; and political impact – until the present time.
Eliassi is also currently studying how spatial cultural practices occur in the Million Programme's outdoor environments. The research, entitled 'The transnational spatial practice of Newroz: an analysis of the practice amongst the Kurdish diaspora in Järva Field and Diyarbakır (Amed)' is a research topic that focuses on the manifestation and values of the spatial practice of Newroz in Järva field, in Stockholm, in comparison with the practice in the Kurdish-populated city of Diyarbakir, Turkey.
