Workshops

The real experts about a place are not the professionals but the people who live and work there. Often they do not have a voice, there is no neutral ground in which people can suggest ideas for improvement and comment on proposed development.

For this reason we have actively embraced participation in our own backyard – since 1999 we have supported local urban design initatives, and held workshops bringing citizens and decision-makers together through the Wimbledon Civic Forum’s Urban Design Task Force.

For a flavour of the initatives locally in Wimbledon, see the Urban Design Task Force messageboard.

Marcus Beale is currently chairman of the Wimbledon Civic Forum.
