Intervention
We came, we busked, we conversed, we listened, we reclaimed.
You watched, you questioned, you participated, you reclaimed.
Planning with people can be made fun and interactive by sprinkling more vibrancy to our streets. Something small, yet something as effective, with Park(ing) Day at CR Park Market No.2, we aimed to do just that!
Temporarily reclaiming two parking spots at CR Park Market No.2 in collaboration with Nowhere Station
Street performance and public engagement as a spectacle at CR Park Market No.2
Participative re-imagination and feedback proves to be a great tool for grassroots planning
