🔉 Let's design the greener, healthier and more livable cities that are needed to save our #climate. Even better, let's do it together so that our cities truly account for locals' diverse preferences to nature. @Kickstarter campaign coming soon! #greencity #NationalParkCity

Let's re-imagine our cities together. Let's consider things we need such as #green pathways for commuting, play, sports - for living. Public #health starts by giving locals a framework for building an inner surplus, happiness, and physical health. #nationalparkcity #resilience

How would a #child design the city? What makes them feel safe and happy on the busy streets? Inclusive urban #planning means that we let our youngest weigh in and contribute to the design of the cities they will grow older in #urban95cm #wegreenthiscity #participatoryplanning

Here's an article ind.pn/2PsYuEs referring to the interesting study by @FacArchHKU

Whereas #climatechange or related terms can be difficult to grasp, we all have an understanding about #health. Or #citizenengagement app will use creative and gorilla marketing to involve people in urban greening by relating it to health impacts #wegreenthiscity

Let's give cyclist the opportunity to design and co-create their green cycling routes to ensure their #health and safety, and to encourage even more people to choose the bike for commuting #wegreenthiscity

Let's involve people in the creation of #green and safe cycling routes that also #children can use, giving them the best start in life to become healthy adults! The @wildstreets_org app will let people of all ages design their public pathways in their own vision @LondonNPC

We've been nominated for the INDEX: Design to Improve Life Award @indexaward! Please show us your support at bit.ly/2CkD5bT to help us earn this prestigious award 🙏🏻🙏🏻 #wegreenthiscity #resilientcities #cocreation #NationalParkCity

ANNOUNCEMENT! Excited to share that we'll be testing the Wild Streets prototype on the streets of London in February. More details will follow. Thank you @yodegroup for making this possible! #wegreenthiscity @LondonNPC @MayorofLondon @WoodlandTrust @TDAG_TalkTree @Smithster76

Yes, and by giving the public a voice in the design process, we'll be able to design the green landscape accordingly and in return invest that money right; benefitting public health (physical and mental) and local retail growth through increased foot traffick @waitey

What if we can create a tool that allows children to visualise how they'd like their green city to look? What if thousands of children had the chance to experience and vote on each other's green visions? Participatory planning should also incl. tomorrow's citizens #childinthecity

If we additionally include people in the greening process, acknowledning that preferences to greenery differ across demographics, then a sense of ownership might enhance the feeling of connectivenes #wegreenthiscity #participatoryplanning

Communicating #climatechange is a #designchallenge! Wild Streets' urban greening app will feature state-of-the-art 3D models of trees and plants that can be viewed across seasons and move in the wind (!) - just some of our measures to ensure wide-ranging citizens #engagement

Such a wonderful example of the impact of giving people a space or a tool to channel their voices through! A definite destination for testing our urban greening app this February. #wegreenthiscity @GeorgeMonbiot bit.ly/2sKruPa

Let's encourage such a positive narrative by offering free, visually powerful tools for #participatoryplanning that tap into experimental marketing to make urban greening a fun and inclusive experience! #wegreenthiscity

London is becoming a #NationalParkCity! We want to connect with Londoners (and beyond!) who'd like to have a greener neighborhood. Show us your streets, your squares, your high streets - anything that you think needs greening #participatoryplanning #wegreenthiscity #wildstreets

Tell us where/why you want green streets! The presence of greenery has been shown to reduce #stress levels in UK neighborhoods @FacArchHK. Greenery may have huge effects on local #health, both physical and mental, easing the pressure on the @NHSuk #greenyourcity #nationalparkcity
