This document presents the process and findings from an eight-month project that has utilised participatory planning and design to produce a Community Action Area Plan (CAAP) with residents of two settlements in Freetown. This work is part of a wider initiative to explore approaches to inclusive city making in Freetown by including a broad range of stakeholders from government, city officials, civil society and NGOs, as well as residents, particularly those in living in informal settlements.
This project builds on a previous workshop held in Freetown organised by non-profit organisation Architecture Sans Frontières–UK (ASF-UK), with The Bartlett Development Planning Unit of UCL and SLURC; which tested ASF-UK’s Change by Design (CbD) methodology for participatory
planning and design in Cockle Bay.
