More Power to the Collective!

"Ever wondered what would make your neighbourhood better? Perhaps, more places to play and engage. More opportunities to come together and celebrate. Can citizen groups come together to carve these meaningful spaces? What kind of impact would they create in that same neighbourhood?"

By Meghana Injeti. A collaboration of urban thinkers and practitioners “Bandra Collective” come together to solve Bandra’s aching issues of public place underutilization and the dwindling number of open spaces.

In The Short Term: Post Lockdown Futures

The causes and subsequent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic has already been and will be the subject of many discussions, reports & research projects in the future to come. These undoubtedly need to fuel thinking about the ways we inhabit our world, the fragility of our lives and its implications on socio-economic, political, cultural, human equity and environmental networks. This kind of thinking undeniably needs to be the long game but there is need however to urgently consider the short term as well.

For many of us experiencing the lock down and social distancing our worlds have shrunk to the scale of our immediate environments namely the rooms we inhabit (for those of us fortunate enough to have a home) and to the spaces that we buy our daily essentials from. There is no mistaking the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to mitigate its spread have restructured our engagement with our spatial environments. However, the easing of these measures is imminent and it is critical for us to focus on the immediate spatial futures post the lockdown and the strategies that will be needed to use public spaces once more.

The spatial implications of Covid have created the need for a new framework for the collective use of public spaces and buildings. This new framework will need to manifest as guidelines implied through formal interventions to ensure physical distancing while collective using public space.
