There is a city we live in and a city we carry in our minds. One is built from concrete and compromise. The other from clean air, easy movement, shade and belonging. When imagination slips into the streets and begins to gather others, a quiet shift takes hold. What was once only pictured becomes possible. A city built for people and not profit. A City Rising.
Imagination To Reality
What is an IMAGINARIUM you ask? The Imaginarium is a citizen-led space that invites people to imagine their ideal city and their role in shaping it. Hosts open up their homes or neighbourhood spaces to spark collective imagination and nurture a shared sense of authorship over the city’s future.
PLACEMAKING? Placemaking is what happens when imagination steps out of the room and walks onto the street. It is a neighbourhood dreaming in unison and then choosing to act. It is the quiet magic of people shaping their own city, revealing what a gentle, human-first future could feel like under our feet.
