Democratising urban action

Enhance the inclusion of post-industrial working-class and migrant communities through citizen science collaborations and co-production initiatives. Based on mutual trust and enhanced inclusivity, community-led co-production can go further than consultative participation in meeting the needs and aspirations of local residents and users. As such, these initiatives should no longer be looked at as marginal endeavours but rather as durable alternatives, with the potential to counter inequalities and address democratic backsliding.
