Great to hear Claudia López Hernández at MIT Urban Planning discuss a politics of care and her innovative #careblocks program in Bogotá.
#PublicSpace needs care and when communities are engaged in their care the spaces can help create a culture of care.

“The nature of Placemaking is interwoven with a responsibility for the environment in various ways, and can therefore be a way to get a broader group of people involved in taking care of the planet…”

“ #Placemaking supports and challenges us to take responsibility for the world beyond our private spaces, and creates the conditions for broader concern and capacity when it comes to taking care of our environments.”
The crises of our time are about disconnection – disconnection from each other and disconnection from the planet.
#Placemaking can help us reconnect to our communities and our places and build our capacity to address our biggest challenges.

“ #Placemaking works on empowering communities to actively participate in decision-making processes, through this, I believe we can address discrimination, promote social equity, and enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of urban spaces, services, and opportunities.”
