In designing and building better cities, shouldn’t we involve the most important stakeholder—the people who live in them?
Manchester is becoming a city that values the opinions of its citizens to co-design a smarter and better-connected city. From businesses and jobs to better healthcare and transport, the CityVerve project in Manchester aims to engage and empower citizens and eventually create a blueprint for smart cities worldwide.
As one of the main drivers of CityVerve, FutureEverything leads three areas of the project: human-centred design, citizen engagement, and culture and public realm. Starting out as an internationally acclaimed festival that began in Manchester in 1995, FutureEverything has become so much more than a conference about technology over the past 22 years—it's a cultural facilitator at the intersection of art, design, science and digital.
In this episode of HealthRedesigned, we speak to Mahnaz Yusaf, a Service Designer and Feimatta Conteh, a Program Manager from FutureEverything about the health innovation projects that they’ve been driving recently through the CityVerve project.
