Thank you @ArchHistDarling We are delighted that these women’s voices and insights - from their work Cumbernauld - have been included. Was a real joy working with the @VADundee team to do this.

Hurrah that @VADundee has included @VoExperience in the Scottish Design galleries in a display on Cumbernauld.

@Panel_Glasgow And we loved it! Thank you @Panel_Glasgow, all the amazing participants and audience. It was such an engaging and critical discussion #citymaking #feminism #climatecrisis #hope

Back in June @VoExperience chaired a round table discussion considering how Glasgow as a City might ‘repair’ itself to achieve climate justice through a 21st century approach to urbanism. Check out a full recording of the event here ➡️
