When you pin an empty space, we!park uses what you share to look at the opportunity and potential of the site and work out how it might become green public space. We may get in touch to ask you for a bit more.
Here's roughly how we size up a site's potential to decide what to take forward:
- It's easy to reach
- It isn't being fully used right now
- It could be opened up as public space
- It's somewhere we can build a participatory process with the people involved
For the sites we do take forward, these are the starting principles and conditions we work to:
- It's public space for everyone
- It's a space that builds healthier bodies and minds
- It's a space that creates a better environment: supporting the city's ecosystem, cutting pollution, and adding to urban biodiversity
- It's part of making the city more sustainable and more resilient
