- Site-specific cases
The Pocket Park, a series of multidisciplinary workshops about shared spaces “with the people for the people”, was initiated to unite people from the community in order to rethink a public space neglected and disadvantaged by seasonal floods. It is a pilot project for a broader program to promote creativity, community links, environment and regeneration of urban reserves in future.
Within the first phase of multidisciplinary workshops about shared spaces local people can explore, learn and experience creativity as a city-constructive tool. The second phase consists of a construction of the prototypes of the proposals designed during the workshops which brings to reinforce the common trust.
This challenge is not a singular case. There are many other spots in Ouagadougou facing the same problem, or worse. This brings the project to have local impact while giving a physical example and encouraging the global solution in future!
