Step 7: Dialogue for solution codesign and public consultations
“Being human is itself difficult, and therefore all kinds of settlements (except dream cities) have problems. Big cities have difficulties in abundance, because they have people in abundance.”
- Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities“Co-operation is no longer a choice but a clear imperative.”
- Kofi Annan, Ghanaian diplomat and former United Nations Secretary General79
Summary:
- If the solutions or responses to public feedback are not immediately evident and clear, a series of ideas on how to co-create or codesign responses with the public are discussed, including adaptations of the data collection methods previously discussed, as well as participatory action research and deliberative democracy methods.
- Remember: Some priorities, such as safer roads, better schools and lower cost of living, cannot be fully solved but need to be managed.
