Experiments in mobile Co-Design: A walkshop in Greenwich
Facilitated by Dr Sara Jones, Senior Lecturer, Creative Interactive System Design at Bayes Business School, City University and Andrew Stuck, Founding Director of Rethinking Cities and the Museum of Walking.
The plan was to share knowledge and generate ideas for apps that can help us understand more about the neighbourhoods, places, and streets we pass through. Our aim is to enable the citizens who live in our increasingly smart cities, to themselves become ‘smarter’, and more engaged, for example by contributing ideas to the shaping of their environments.
A Tumblr blog was created and contributions sent in during the event, that were later discussed in a workshop at the ICL City 2016 Conference on Innovation, Creativity and Leadership, Research and Practice.
A Museum of Walking Creative Thinking event.
