Gap Filler Christchurch: Linking urban tactics to strategy
Event Information
Description
[Please note, if this workshop fills up we will be looking at running another workshop in the afternoon.]
Participants will learn about Gap Filler’s practice leading urban transformation strategies with community, government and private sector partners. This includes drawing lessons and experience out of Gap Filler maturing from a creative and grassroots disaster response initiative to an established and thriving organisation working on large-scale and long-term city-making projects. Working through scenarios, participants will be able to gain an in-depth understanding of Gap Filler's approach and methods for urban problem solving, and explore the ways that small-scale, temporary, ‘organic’ projects can fit within wider planning frameworks. This workshop will equip participants with some practical and strategic approaches to bring to their own urban and community challenges.
