Urban Health Citizen Lab

Urban planning, environment and health

Duration
01/01/2022 - 31/12/2022
Coordinator

Funded by
Ajuntament de Barcelona - Fundació BIT Habitat

The Urban Health Citizen Lab is an open and inclusive meeting space aimed at promoting the development of common ideas through the experimentation and collective learning. Thanks to the active participation of different actors and groups, we will offer mechanisms to promote social innovation under the culture of proximity.

The main goal of this space is to create learning and practice communities, in which people can work collectively to identify needs, problems and interests, in order to promote creative ideas that help improve neighborhood conditions through scientific culture, shared knowledge and experimentation of tools for awareness and dissemination. The laboratory provides conditions to activate listening, observation and collective intelligence among participants of different profiles linked to the same context, generating spaces of trust and cooperation, with a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach.

How does it works?

  1. Participatory diagnosis (stage 1). It consists of identifying and understanding the main problems and needs of the territory, through collaborative mapping processes. [See it soon].
  2. Citizen science process with open environmental sensors (stage 2). [See you soon]
  3. Open call for proposals (stage 3). At this stage, proposals and solutions are collected from the public, and the winning proposals are then chosen.
  4. Design and prototyping (stage 4). The proposals and solutions chosen are worked on in a collaborative manner based on the logics of experimentation and prototyping. At this point, we work with the digital fabrication laboratories or the Network of Fabrication Athenaeums. The process is prioritised over the result, and autonomy is offered to the groups to promote the continuity of the projects. [Consult the call for collaborators].
  5. Communication (stage 5). Finally, work is carried out on the sharing, presentation and exploitation of the results with a view to disseminating the challenges presented.


Throughout the whole process, the documentation of facts and learning is taken into account for the collective generation of knowledge. In other words, it must be available for circulation —under the principle of free culture so that it can be copied, distributed, modified and improved— and be useful in other contexts. Different disciplines will be addressed, such as science, technology, innovation, urbanism and art, and interrelationships will be established to generate interdisciplinary solutions.
