The Hôtel-Dieu in Nantes: a fictional process to a citizen-inspired approach
 

Respiration, Hôtel-Dieu, Nantes. Automne 2024.

We have spent the last fifteen years in the neighbourhood of Dharavi, actively participating in the user-driven evolution of its material and social life. This has given us the confidence to conceptualise and embark on a project called “The ABCD of Dharavi Koliwada”. This article outlines the vision for the project. 

Spontaneous workshopping through a 10-day-long Exhibition featuring community projects as part of the ABCD of Dharavi Koliwada

Koliwada Charcha is a week-long event with an interactive exhibition format, residents who visit will give feedback and comments about the 4 interventions planned for their neighbourhood. These interventions were identified by speaking with various stakeholder groups from Dharavi Koliwada, including the Dharavi Koli Jamat. The projects act as triggers to start thinking and strategising about an alternative development model for Koliwada, as part of the Action Based Comprehensive Development plan for Koliwada, or the ABCD. 

urbz is leading a participatory landscaping process for the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) through a series of workshops, walks, talks and exhibition. The end result will be a publicly accessible IFRC Park in the center of Geneva. 

In a global context, populations marginalized because of race, class, gender, creed, etc. are those most incessantly stripped of this right to design the city in their own image within formalized constraints. In this way, the “informal” urban process of self-construction is inherently a product of this same marginality that excludes these groups from “formalized” city-making.
