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.

About the initiative: Celebrate Your Local Jane Jacobs, a campaign dedicated to acknowledge and honour women who have made substantial hands-on contributions to their communities. In a world where the recognition of women’s achievements is often limited, we believe that those who have devoted themselves to civic engagement, participatory planning, enhancing their communities and constructing better towns for future generations deserve appreciation. We see their influence as not only inspiring but also capable of extending to other communities.

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.

Rosanna Vitiello (Bureau Chief + Founding Director, The Place Bureau, London, England, United Kingdom)
Links to Collective Place Futures
Toolkit: https://www.theplacebureau.com/toolkit Natural Futures book: https://www.theplacebureau.com/insights/natural-futures-is-liveShort 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.

Marcello Cabezas (Placemaker/Experience Architect, The Fifth Group, Canada)
During Placemaking week Marcello presented cases from Canada. Short BIO about his presentation:This was a 30-minute presentation that highlighted exciting, award-winning lifestyle placemaking projects and destinations that have changed the game in Canada. They successfully achieved community engagement and business development goals simultaneously. The key insight was that there is a massive human desire for multiple experiences in one place. The examples highlighted delivered thoughtful and exciting amenities, programming, and experiences in all aspects of lifestyle, including food & beverage, art, culture, festivals, play, shopping, making, sports, learning, discovering, and watching. These projects inspired longer and repeat visits by guests, leading to historic commercial growth. The goal was to inspire attendees of the presentation to take away key learnings to apply to their current and future projects.

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.In collaboration with Placemaking Week Europe, 2024, Rotterdam.

Julia Barashkov(a) (PhD Candidate at Delft University of Technology) and Mihal Ronko (Practising architect at Schaffer Architects)
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.
Our joint work is: The Common Catalogue

Tímea Szőke (PhD Fellow at UIC Barcelona) and Elena Enrica Giunta (Design director at Studio Shift; Adjunct professor at School of Design - Politecnico di Milano and Libera Università di Bolzano)
BIO about their workshop:City Flows - Discovering the City with our Senses. This participatory walkshop is designed to explore the connection between the city and the water. Through walking, observing and engaging with other placemakers, we look and map the presence and traces how water forms part of the city.
The first half of our walkshop, will take the participants to a playground of public space. Through a ‘Walk&Sense’ session we will explore the surrounding environment by using our senses. This experiential exercise will emphasise how we perceive, sense, frame and construct the places we inhabit.
The session will conclude with a joint reflection and analogue data visualisation exercise. This will allow participants to share their experiences and insights, showcasing the traces, marks, and narratives related to water that define our cityscape in the public space itself.
The walkshop will be conducted by the members of the Bosch Alumni Network’s Placemaking Impact Field.In collaboration with Placemaking Week Europe, 2024, Rotterdam. Read more https://pwe2024.sched.com/

Josef Conning (Urbanist and strategist, Sweden) andKristen 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.
