摘要

This paper explores an innovative policymaking tool known as “Open Studios”. This is a participatory, multi-disciplinary two-day workshop which allows open discussion, interaction, and solution development between end users, researchers, and experts in a field. Taking into consideration issues on accessibility, equity, and scarcity of green spaces in urban centres, we developed and applied a new model of community building which is bottom-up, locally managed, and adaptable to the needs of its users: the “Ecosystems of Care”. We present the main features of this new way of organizing and structuring green urban areas, as well as our observations from two pilot projects which were created to understand the feasibility and applicability of this idea. We conclude by reflecting on our lessons learned from these applied experiments, the potential of Ecosystems of Care for improving the wellbeing of the population and look at issues related to their replicability and long-term sustainability.
