The case for why it is important to make the connection to places for play and the climate.
A conversation on how placemakers can be at the forefront of climate adaptive practice through tapping into their strong sense of community and localised sense of where the opportunities are.
Our Guest :
Minouche Besters is partner and urbanist at the STIPO team for Urban Development. Her work focuses on creating better places by among others developing inclusion, strengthening the social fabric, organising the commons, working towards the energy transition and involving digital technologies.
Project Description:
Placemakers are the best in activating the community. And they know how to be creative in finding smart solutions. Even when there doesn’t seem much space or streets are small or money is tight. We have a major crisis to fix together, and Minouche hopes that all placemakers out here will share their best examples so we can have solutions together and get our streets and parks playful and climate proof!
