The city as a collective creation: bottom-up, participatory and creative processes for a sustainable urban regeneration

Abstract

This research proposes to create a methodology for participatory action with traditional and new strategies (ICT – information and communications technology, mapping, big data, urban sketching, tactical planning, opinion polls, collaborative webs, etc.). This entails analysis and experimentation at the present time in several case studies, in which the final recipients of urban planning - its users - co-design the project. Some of the strategies are being put to the test in collaboration with students from ETSAB.
