about
JUSThood method® is a game-based method positioned at the intersection of three topics – masterplanning, spatial equity and participatory futures.
JUSThood network is a network of hubs and JUSThood mentors in different countries who are trained in spatial equity and participatory futures approaches.
JUSThood index is a tool which can be used to measure spatial equity of urban places. It allows to quantify and operationalize spatial equity concept to bring it to the table with authorities.
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.

Urban Design Projects
We provide mentorship to a variety of stakeholders to create more inclusive and creative urban spaces. Either with implementation of the JUSThood method, or with developing community engagement strategies we get input from participants (citizens, business, other stakeholders) to develop masterplans or strategies of urban areas.
Lectures and Public talks
We believe that spreading knowledge is key to shift paradigms in traditional thinking and planning. We conduct lectures for academic and non-academic institutions and organizations on the topics of Spatial Equity, Participatory Futures and Masterplanning process.
