LABS x WWDN – Creative Neighbourhoods: A Blueprint for Local Placemaking - What We Do Now

I’ll be the ‘documentarian’ and my Recollective colleague Mitch Miller will create a dialectogram for this event which asks the question ‘What makes a community neighbourhood strong?’

Using Stranraer as a living case study, we’ll work together to imagine what a well-supported, creative, community-led neighbourhood looks like-and what it takes to sustain it.
