Arturo Minera, Charles Dudley, and I sat at a table and drank some coffee while talking about designing within communities like the Price Hill neighborhoods where Arturo (West Price Hill) and I (East Price Hill) live. One of the bigger takeaways from the chat was that folks that live their lives in the neighborhoods—including kids through older adults—are the neighborhood experts. As such, these are the experts—with their lived experiences—that need to be at the tables when designing within communities. There’s no recipe for making this happen, but it has to happen. When in doubt, invent new methods.
