Articulating the Value of Community Engagement in the Built Environment

我在伦敦大学学院攻读了建筑与城市设计发展硕士学位，并以优异的成绩毕业。在那里，我学习了全球南方的参与式设计和合作生产策略，这扩展了我的知识和理论和方法工具。我参与了不同的实地行动研究项目，在那里我为不同的社区工作，并与不同的社区合作。我通过与缅甸仰光一个乡镇的社区合作开展贫民窟改造项目，并与亚洲住房权利联盟合作，获得了如何共同制定城市战略的知识。我还了解如何与伦敦的Deptford邻里协会合作，提供社区主导的发展计划，并与居住在意大利布雷西亚的难民共同设计住宅，以改善他们的生活条件。

I have pursued the MSc Building and Urban Design in Development at UCL, from which i graduated with distinction. There, i learnt about participatory design and co-production strategies in the Global South, which expanded my knowledge and theoretical and methodological tools. I was part of diverse fieldwork action-research projects where i worked for and with different communities, i acquired knowledge on how to co-develop an urban strategy by doing a collaborative slum upgrading programme with the community in a township in Yangon, Myanmar and in partnership with the Asian Coalition for Housing Rights. I also understood how to deliver a community-led development plan working with Deptford Neighbourhood Association in London and co-design dwellings with refugees living in Brescia, Italy, to improve their living conditions.
