CIVIC SQUARE is demonstrating neighbourhood-scale civic infrastructure for social and ecological transition, together with many people and partners in Ladywood, Birmingham UK.
Principally, we are working to share practically and openly how the climate transition and retrofit of our homes and streets can be designed, owned and governed by the people who live there now in systemic, tangible and participatory ways.
This is through organising around three interconnected neighbourhood system demonstrators:
Neighbourhood Doughnut - a 21st century compass for ecologically safe and socially just neighbourhoods
Neighbourhood Transitions - street-based systemic demonstration of carbon, energy and ecological built environment transitions
Neighbourhood Public Square - co-building and democratising access to the spaces, tools and resources for a distributed and regenerative transition, held in the common for the neighbourhood

Not me on youtube looking for a video about this book and BOOm ! Find the best video :) Such an amazing book
Brilliant presentation. I am glad I found it. Something I struggled with for over 30 years. my disenfranchisement began as a graphic artist in the advertising and marketing industry I ran away from that world and recently found myself and have been trying to figure out how to talk with others about it.
So grateful to have met you guys❤
I’m commenting on this video in relationship to the new ideas of the sharing library and it’s impact on bringing communities and families together . Listening to my good friend Dilwara who has started a sharing library from outside her home to widen people’s connections socially be taking and giving back to others. Feel very inspired by her talk as her passion to make changes in not only her community but to others. I do hope this grows from strength to strength and make a stronger bond in communities and there children being excited to take a book home. Keep up the good work and your positive energy will change many people’s lives 😊👍
This is a very interesting discussion, I've been working towards very similar aims for a few years now in Wales.
Utopian!
❤❤❤
A fundamental shift in the way that we understand, live and work together.

PS portals are a central theme in Forest of Imagination ...
Beautiful talk, thank you for hosting it and publishing.
Just looked up the Art Angel 'evaluation' paintings. They're incredible. Such a powerful way to capture what can be such a deadening ask.
Love the pizza analogy!
Such a rich conversation, thank you. I loved the comment, "what gets measured gets changed". Also, all the ideas discussed around scale. I like the quote, "The next big thing will be a lot of small things" by the designer, Thomas Lommee :)
