Innovative community-based method to empower inhabitants in envisioning their future equitable neighbourhoods

about
JUSThood is an innovative method that empowers inhabitants to envision the design of their neighbourhoods in equitable way. Based on a design-driven approach, JUSThood method is positioned at the intersection of three topics – masterplanning, spatial equity and participatory futures.
JUSThood – uncovering local knowledge and mapping visions of equitable neighbourhood with participatory futures.
main pillars of JUSThood methodology
1
Cooperation with community leaders
In the first phase, we work with community leaders to diagnose the neighbourhood area. In addition, the JUSThood mentor introduces the concept of spatial equity and importance of masterplanning. The goal is to leverage on and enhance the role of community leaders in the neighbourhoods.
Participatory futures workshops with residents
In the second phase, we conduct a participatory workshop with residents. The workshop methodology is based on design-driven approach and is conducted in the form of the game. The goal of the workshop is to create future scenarios of the neighbourhood based on the What-If questions, Persona and Urban Design cards.
Developing masterplans
In the third phase, the input of residents from the workshops is translated and developed into master plans. The goal is to democratise and make masterplans more accessible and visible to inhabitants.
