Overview
Integrating science, policy and practice for a better future in cities requires novel partnerships and actionable research. Transitions, just and otherwise, have often been tied to technological development, recently with increasing connectivity and processes of digitization. However, technologically-led approaches to changemaking rarely prioritise the agency of communities and individuals who are most vulnerable to climate change.
This practice-led, actionable and policy-driven research pilot focuses on creative digital inclusion for just transitions towards community resilience. It asks, how can data be creatively integrated in participatory processes that support just transitions through communicating and addressing the risks of extreme heat events in cities?
Through a unique partnership between Connected Environments at The Bartlett, University College London, the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, and The Network for Educational Futures, University of Bristol, it will explore the use of arts-led methods and integrated data for empowering community-organising for just transitions towards participatory futures.
