Intimate insights into the everyday give new nuance to the collective experience of the city
A city can be a very different place from one perspective to the next. This talk looks at inclusive design through a series of personal lenses. It’s led by Caroline Bos, Co-Founder and Principal Urban Planner of UNStudio—a company that’s been on mission to make a positive societal impact through design and architecture since 1988.
Her panel will be informed by a series of ‘urban explorations’—one-on-one sessions where Caroline will be guided through Melbourne/Naarm by people from diverse backgrounds who’ll help her connect to city through their eyes. These experiences will form foundations for wide-ranging discussions about the ways lived experience can inform inclusive urban design. There’ll also be an informal post-panel Q&A where attendees can keep adding to the topics and pushing the discussion forward.
