Designing with the neighborhood
​
Involving residents by using clear visuals and interactive models from the start was essential for a constructive collaboration throughout the design process. Explaining options, impossibilities and decisions step by step created awareness and mutual understanding among everyone involved in the project, and eventually resulted in returning and new residents owning their neighborhood.
