Citizen Participation and Democratising City Strategies
Una Meehan |
TEDxUoChester
• February 2022
What if we all did a little more to help shape our communities by using our individual skills to accelerate positive change and aid participation? Uná’s talk is all about how individuals have come together to make good things happen. Uná shares how a community group called Good for Nothing were tasked with reviewing Chester Council’s One City Plan. Their strategy was all about putting people first and creating the space for more inclusive and meaningful engagement.- This consultation saw the highest levels of engagement from city users and resulted in much more than a review, but a strategy that could help Chester meet the needs of all, for decades to come.
