Designed to Scale - research report

Documenting the findings from The Open Works project and building the evidence base for the Participatory City. In partnership with Lankelly Chase Foundation.

The Open Works research project aimed to test if a platform approach could scale up the new type of ‘participation culture’ that has emerged over the last 6 - 10 years. It aimed to discover if a high density of this type of micro participation activity, built into the fabric of everyday life, has the potential to aggregate and combine to achieve lasting long term change, both for individuals and for neighbourhoods.
