Delivery Strategy DesignWays offers
a common language of design that helps people understand their deep connection
with nature, and their responsibilities as global citizens. The vision
is to see DesignWays used internationally as a language for participation
in community regeneration. Under development since 1993, DesignWays has
been successfully applied to projects ranging from rural regeneration,
to environmental education, to urban design in the USA,
England and Southern
Africa. In the future DesignWays
will provide a valuable standard operating procedure for participatory
planning. Many individuals in different geographical areas, North and
South, will be trained in the skills of meaningful, participatory planning
and ecological design at different levels of scale. It will be applied
in a wide range of contexts, including: urban regeneration, rural development,
community capacity building, environmental management and industrial ecology.
Capacity building will be developed through partnerships with existing
delivery organisations, such that DesignWays provides added-value to their
activities and programmes. Partnerships and exchanges between countries
will allow for exchange of knowledge and development assistance to poorer
regions of the world. |
