The panel was set up to give a voice to local people who are not usually included in the process of creating development projects. The PRIP has been working alongside the team for two years, reviewing and assessing evolving designs and ensuring inclusive design is at the forefront of the public realm proposals. In total the panel have spent over 570 hours in workshops with ECDC and the design team shaping proposals. We found the use of co-creation sessions to align design principles with the unique socio-cultural, economic, and environmental context of the community incredibly meaningful and impactful.
