Participatory Activity - April 25, 2023

The Participatory Activity held on April 25, 2023 brought together 32 participants representing 27 different organizations. The objective was to get their feedback on three (3) potential scenarios for the development of the Wellington basin, developed by Sid Lee Architecture. The event was structured in two main parts: free wandering and co-creation workshops.

The free wandering enabled participants to understand the context of the project. Kiosks presented information on the Wellington Basin, such as ownership, heritage, employment and mobility. The three (3) scenarios and a model of the site were also on display. Interactive boards allowed participants to explore various possibilities for the development of the Wellington Basin. An immersive experience zone allowed participants to project themselves into a number of referent projects. This event provided an opportunity to gather feedback on the scenarios, and to identify their strengths and areas requiring improvement.

Given that divergent opinions had emerged from the Collaborative Workshop on March 31, 2023, participants were invited to prioritize potential ideas by theme, during the co-creation workshops. This process helped to clarify orientations and identify essential elements relating to the green and blue grid, mobility and building heights.
