parCitypatory is a blog to inspire city makers, urban planners, NGOs, local government members and citizens all over the world to make their cities more participatory.
Once every few months, you will find a new article on an issue related to participation.
The parCitypatory blog is divided into four main sections: Stories about Participation, Innovations in Participation, Resources for Participation, and the Basics of Participation.
You can also work with me as a writer or get support in strategic communications around participation and urban development.
These are voices from all over the world. I invite or interview experts to hear about their solutions in creating a more participatory city
Recommendations for urban planning resources and materials
Innovative new methods and ideas for participation, including pop-up interventions and street art
Introduction to the ideas and theory behind participation and people-centred urban planning
A series of articles looking at the implementation of SDG 11 (inclusive, safe, sustainable and resilient cities) in Mexico City
The Urbanism Book Club is for anyone interested in urban planning and urbanism.
We read one book a month together and discuss it here and on Instagram. Join the discussion and learn more about how cities can, should and don’t work!
If you are interested in telling the story of participation in your community on the blog, let me know at laura[at]parcitypatory.org.
