Urban Planning using Co-production in Croydon, South London, UK

Two years ago I worked for UCL's Coproduction team https://www.ucl.ac.uk/public-engagement/co-production-collective on an urban planning project, helping Croydon council bid for a pot of money from the GLA.

They won the bid, so I've been asked back to help record the co-production process. Image below is a work in progress, the 'vision' for the project is still tbc hence the blank banner space. 



There's a lot of work to be done in and around Croydon,  but as one of the participants said: "if you scratch Croydon it bleeds history" and they have a passionate group of local participants, so watch the space around Surrey Street Market!

Thanks to Niccola Hutchinson Pascal for asking me back, and for recommending me widely to her other UCL colleagues. I've worked on some really interesting projects this year.
