How can we Bridge the trust divide between citizens and their city?
Join Boopsie as she chats with Bea Enriquez - Systems Innovator - Play at Healthy Families Waitākere, Sport Waitākere. Bea works alongside children, community, and stakeholders to support them to think differently. She works tirelessly to improve access to play through influencing planning, urban design, policy, investment and settings so every young person and old in West Auckland can reclaim their childhood.
In this episode we delve deeper into the sharing of ideas and practice to shift investment to be more community centric.
Episode Notes:
Design that raises the voice of your community champions.
Design that is co-created with the people , that actually live there.
Design that include safe and inviting spaces that provide a sense of "permission to play"
The importance of intersectional relationships that can bring about change.
The need for cups of coffee and a muffin for that kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) connection.
If we ignore meaningful connection to people in the spaces we design, we ignore that necessary link or bridging of trust between political policies and people.
