Valuing Community-Led Design Workshop 2
Valuing Community-Led Design Workshop 2
1 May 2013
Orange Room, Moseley Exchange, Birmingham
The final event of the Valuing Community-Led Design project was held in Moseley, Birmingham on the 1st of May 2013.
The aim of the workshop was to disseminate preliminary findings, but also to support networking, exchange of experiences in the area of community-led design and formulate future research directions. The workshop invited multidisciplinary and multistakeholder perspectives, involving academics as well as practitioners, community organisations, community representatives and third sector organisations.
Following a short introduction to the project, its activities and outputs so far, the workshop focussed on group activities helping collaboratively work through some key questions. The workshop was divided in three parts. The first part focussed on sharing stories, and collecting perspectives about the value of community-led design and ways to capture it, adding to the experiences and knowledge developed in previous project activities (workshops and focus groups). The second part was dedicated specifically to the question of mapping barriers and opportunities of community-led design. The third part was dedicated to the development of a future research agenda and ideas for collaborative projects.

The main areas for development identified were around understanding asset transfer practices, the potentials and limitations of neighourhood planning, rethinking design practice, working on method replication, and understanding the effect of community-led design processes on the life of buildings, on people’s wellbeing, safety and crime, and on fighting isolation.
