Co-Designing for Spatial Justice

The Green Urbanist is a podcast for urbanists and built environment professionals who are passionate about combating the effects of the climate crisis. DSDHA trio, Tom Greenall, Jane Wong and Lydia Toohey, join the podcast’s host Ross O’Ceallaigh to discuss co-design; what it means, its relevance, and how it is being applied to projects.

They discuss the process of co-design as a practitioner, understanding the positionality of being a designer in a foreign space, and giving power to the voices of those who occupy it. Linking these topics to the climate crisis, Tom reminds us of an important reality, that "the exploitation of the planet is so closely linked with the exploitation of people.”
