Liberation work, radical organising, movement work is relational, sometime I try to communicate the scale of what that means. There are weeks where I’m in touch with 500-1000 ppls, I’m not saying that’s ok. I’m saying sustained community/movement building requires so much of us

#UrbanPlayground and green infrastructure. Stop paving and start growing?

[Jonny Anstead 🏘🚶‍♂️🚲🌳 @JonnyAnstead]

One of the best (and best-used) playgrounds I’ve come across was this, on a local campsite.. built mainly around trees, ditches and streams. For happier children, urban playgrounds should be more like this!

[Leicester Startups @LeicStartups]

This is a really interesting read...

"Our vehicles are idle for 90% of the time, our offices are idle for 35% of the time. There has got to be a much better way we can organise this to support each other"

Do we have any sharing related startups in #Leicester?

[DMU Enterprise & Business Services @dmuenterprise]

Creating a ‘sharing economy’ in Leicester could help the city to rebuild after the UK’s longest lockdown, says DMU academic @thecityspeaker 🏙️📈💲

‘An experiment in civic activism’: could Newcastle transform city planning? asks @ollywainwright in the @guardian

We certainly think so.

Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out our programme and build to our opening in autumn 2022.

The way people can reimagine, redesign and occupy public spaces that work for citizens’ needs is fascinating to observe. The future of our high street is being explored by one of our members - @StudioSolvers - during Leicester Innovation Week 25-26 June > https://t.co/Tqqrwne5md

[Jayne Young @jaynelayoung]

Wow @lovetoplay2021 What a joyous scene 😍 Just goes to show what city centres can be if we start to think about public spaces a bit differently & prioritise togetherness, creativity & play. Amazing job everyone 🙌

[InnoHouse @InnoHouse1]

Can't wait for this! Getting citizens, businesses and agencies from across the city together to reimagine the future of the high street.

[InnoHouse @InnoHouse1]

Interesting read about how people are pooling their stimulus funds to undertake projects that benefit all. We've recently been exploring #urbanfarming in Leicester to explore its potential to create healthier and more connected communities.

What do you think of urban farming?

[VICE @VICE]

By pooling their stimulus checks, groups can build mesh networks, sound systems for protests, community gyms and pallet homes, and even create infrastructure for food production. https://t.co/wSDlB9TjgE

Great presentations this evening during the Urban Age event. Recurring themes of repurposing, reimagining, involving communities, and removing barriers appearing throughout. Wonderful of example of what can be done and what should be done.
