“The ‘making of the city ’ is no longer the sole concern of urban planners. No longer do their methodologies, expertise, and theories suffice to address the increasing complexity cities face. That's why designers of all sorts, are increasingly teaming up in coalitions of new city makers which were unthinkable before. ... The proposed project provides an arsenal of new city making tools and gains insights on their use, which enrich design and transition management disciplines.” (grant application, Mulder, Loorbach & Van Waart) PCM LAB @Border Sessions 15 June 2018

participatory city making &
participatory processes
Top 3 insights
1. The participatory turn does not guarantee that we make the city together
2. Design can even enlarge a participation divide
3. Co-creative partnerships as catalysts for social change
PCM LAB @Border Sessions 15 June 2018
participatory city making &
participatory processes
Insight # 1
• participatory turn …. phenomenon much more than a trend or a hype –it is a movement, affecting society. • But are we making a city together? • City making practices largely remain on a visionary level • Therefore, PARTICIPATORY CITY MAKING • as a collaborative construction of new visions through small-scale experimenting in order to make a broader process of change and transformation happen
PCM LAB @Border Sessions 15 June 2018
participatory city making &
participatory processes
Insight # 2
• Participatory processes are not necessary inclusive • Current citizen participation policies often enable ‘the usual suspects’ rather than empower society at large • City making tools need to be more accessible to less active citizens, broaden the society to change • The design process needs to be more inclusive and co-creative.... and never ends..

participatory processes
Insight # 3
• • •
Co-creative partnerships as catalysts for social change (Mulder, in: SDRJ 11(2) forthcoming) the quadruple helix is mostly used as a policy model rather than a model for participation and co-creation Networks and coalitions do not emerge by chance; they are themselves the result of design (Manzini 2015)

participatory processes
Conclusions
Need for more participatory and integrated design methodology that enables design processes to embrace complexity and broadens society’s capacity to change • impacts the role of expert designers e.g., how can designers give up power and empower citizens? • empowers the way emerging city makers can participate in the design process (diffuse design) • opens up new roles for design, design after the design …

participatory city making &
urban transition
Top 3 insights
1. City makers’ initiatives proof to be potentially effective instruments to bring different actors together in experimenting with new solutions around specific issues or challenges. 2. Only under certain conditions city makers’ initiatives can be considered instruments for a broader systemic and institutional change. 3. So far, city makers’ initiatives are mostly seen as locally isolated initiatives, while embedding city makers’ initiatives in a more systemic transition strategy would enable the scaling and institutionalization of the lesson learned.

participatory city making &
urban transition
Insight #1
Cities are the places of experiments and niches for broader societal transitions as well as subjects of transitions themselves. This implies new roles and tools for policy-makers and planners to work in a more organic, emergent yet selective and long-term focused way.

Top 3 insights
1. Smart prototyping has a long startup time
2. Contrast between starting question (conceptual) vs detailed and practical precision decisions
3. Make sure to define making as core from the beginning

Insight # 1
Smart prototyping has a long startup time Start up time of a working digital prototype takes longer than one might think. It works or doesn’t work (binary, unruly, unlike paper prototype) Long first launch of a smart prototype vs. pace and planning of user driven design

Insight # 2
Precision decisions Starting point is an abstract design brief —> This can result in 1000+ (concrete) prototypes
* How to decide with 1 of 1000? * Very detailed decision (it works or doesn’t work) * Also depends on the expertise within the team

user insights
Top 3 insights
1. The map of the city should also contain interaction patterns of city makers
2. The action through research and design approach is very valuable for policy making
3. Every policy team should have a in house nerd
