Understanding and working with local communities

PLANNING

AYLESBURY ESTATE

When masterplanners Urban Initiatives were commissioned to draw up an Area Action Plan for the Aylesbury Estate in South London they needed to reach a diverse and fatigued local population which, despite ten years of consultation, had seen little change.

Quatro’s creative programme of community involvement managed to increase overall participation by 38% and achieved an 11% engagement rate amongst 16-24 year olds, up from almost zero. The AAP has now been adopted.
