Welcome back to our #humankindglossary, a series where we navigate in the sea of words that we use at Humankind.

Today we’ll talk about Living Labs.

[humankind @humankindcity]

There are 5 aspects that we find fundamental for a better understanding on why Living Labs can improve our cities:
→ Geographical Anchoring;
→ Experimentation and Learning;
→ User Participation and Engagement;
→ Leadership and Ownership;
→ Evaluation of Actions and Impact.

[humankind @humankindcity]

and, later, from 18 to 20 September it’s time for our Masterclass Designing the Cycling City — a true crash course in the bicycle urbanism, in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

[humankind @humankindcity]

We could say we deal with a bit of everything regarding the urban world, simply because cities are messy, complex systems. But to make things clearer we’ve made some additions to our website, so head to our freshly made Services webpage. Do you think we could help you?

[humankind @humankindcity]

When working in a systemic and holistic way, often one of the most difficult questions we have to answer is “what do you do?”.

In our 3-day Masterclass, we’ll combine the theoretical knowledge learnt during short lectures and panels from organisations and academic institutions with practical experiments such as workshops, on-site visits and guided bike tours.

[humankind @humankindcity]

If you are passionate about urban mobility and cycling infrastructure but often miss a holistic approach to it – we’ve got you covered. Join the 2nd edition of our crash course "Designing the Cycling City” in Rotterdam, September 18 - 20, 2024.

Just one week to @UrbanFutureConf ! Check the program here https://t.co/2QPeBI0Bmu

[humankind @humankindcity]

Three weeks left for @UrbanFutureConf in Rotterdam and we are ready!

We will have a booth, and a very fun one. Curious? Come find us on June 5 and 6 on the 3rd Floor, Rotterdam hall. And if you want to hear us speaking, here’s a sneak peak into where we are on the program:

Participation or engagement should not only be validating ideas, making isolated polls or inviting residents to meetings to inform them about plans. It should provide a platform with the right conditions to create quality collaboration .

[humankind @humankindcity]

Welcome back to our #humankindglossary, a series where we navigate in the sea of words that we use at Humankind.

Today we’ve picked not just one word but two concepts: “Civic Engagement” and “Citizen Participation”

[humankind @humankindcity]

We believe that real engagement happens when we take the time to create social capital as a first step to having quality discussions and debates that can create collective visions for the future.
