Abstract/Summary:
The citizens of the Kensington area of Philadelphia are fragmented and feel disenfranchised when faced with taking responsibility and ownership of their neighborhoods in order to become catalysts for change. By restructuring the way community meetings were conducted, our goal was to empower a local civic association to create a platform where meaningful discussion could take place in order to create a sense of connectedness and inspire action. We designed an engagement where residents could both begin a conversation and co-create solutions around the topic of safety within their neighborhood.
