Manual
Inclusive Guide on Participation in a City
The Inclusive Guide, publication stemming from the Youth 4 Bauhaus project, serves as a powerful tool to the pivotal role of inclusivity in envisioning and shaping cities that truly embrace diversity.
Aims of the tool
The Inclusive Guide asserts that the built environment must transcend physical structures; it should foster a sense of ownership among individuals, regardless of age, ability, or sexual orientation. By recognizing and addressing the distinct expectations and requirements of various demographics, from streets to parks and rivers, the guide becomes a catalyst for social cohesion. It strives not only to build spaces but to construct a shared sense of belonging and identity within communities and neighborhoods.
The guide serves as a reflection of the project partners‘ findings while working with diverse groups of youth on city co-creation implementing the principles of New European Bauhaus.
Its aim is to provide insights on the project activities and the challenges brought up, the solutions and the results for evaluation collected immediately after the event.
Description of the tool
The Inclusive Guide emerges as a beacon of change, focusing on empowering young people in decision making processes related to public space planning. The Inclusive Guide is a roadmap towards cities that are not just functional, but compassionate, ensuring that no voice is unheard, and no citizen is left behind in the pursuit of progress.
The Inclusive Guide‘s alignment with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) further underscores its importance. In 2020, the president of the European Commission launched the NEB, envisioning it as a transformative initiative built on the pillars of aesthetics, sustainability, and inclusivity. By embracing these principles, the Inclusive Guide echoes the NEB‘s vision and, in turn, contributes to a more holistic and trans-sectoral approach to urban development.
