CQD / DWC Pogge
The approach of our team to program the neighbourhood contract was to deal with the existing situation: open spaces, buildings and local expertise.
In order to stimulate the 'already there' we met various actors on the site, organized site visits and transformed the classic AG's into innovative meetings of collective intelligence that were centred on co-designing around a large model. Through these discussions, we identified the aspects that needed to be strengthened and those missing in the neighbourhood. Problems were transformed into opportunities, including Brussels pilot project to transform unoccupied ground floors into housing for PMR.
Women from the surroundings participated in preparing meals which contributed to an atmosphere of trust that was established during the above mentioned moments of exchange.
