Neighbourhood vision for the future

THE QUEST

How does one develop a future proof, sustainable and inclusive neighbourhood vision that represents the diversity of perspectives and wishes of all active stakeholders within the neighborhood?

THE APPROACH

Part 1. Research. Qualitative interviews. Participatory co-creation sessions (role: co-facilitator). 

Part 2. Visioning. Data from qualitative interviews, creative participatory sessions, videos and surveys is translated into a clear, active and forward thinking neighborhood vision. The approach ensures that the neighborhood council can independently shape the vision for the neighborhood on themes that have been defined (role: lead).

THE RESULT

• A  green vision shaped by the input provided by the residents and active parties in the neighbourhood. The vision incorporates short, medium and long-term objectives, strategic approaches and ideas by residents. 
• A toolkit that can be used by the neighbourhood council to analyse the remaining themes defined through the research and shape the insights into a concise and actionable vision that is carried by the residents.
• This neighborhood vision will be used as a basis for decision-making in the neighborhood by both the neighborhood council and the municipality and provide direction for the shaping of a sustainable and inclusive future for the neighborhood.
