Involving people in improving their neighbourhoods.
Spaceshaper 9-14 is a great way for young people and adults to become interested and involved in their local spaces.
Spaceshaper 9-14 is a workshop-based toolkit that enables young people to engage in consultation about public spaces, to assess the quality of a public space to inform its future development. The tool sits alongside Spaceshaper (used with adult audiences), and provides developers, local authorities and others with a methodology for collecting data from all sections of the community.
Whilst developing Spaceshaper 9-14 we found that the tool works well with mixed groups of adults and young people – and can be used as an inter-generational tool, to support engagement and consultation about spaces – be they parks, squares or streets.
