Day # 4 Working on our proposal

After some of us attended the Creating 'age-friendly cities': developing a new urbanism for all generations cities@ Manchester joint event with MICRA (Manchester Interdisciplinary Collaboration for Research on Ageing). We had some interesting materials which helped us start off the morning with a discussion of our proposal. Based on some of the work we did before we looked at a site section, access points, the different heights of the 2 green spaces. 








We them split into 2 groups: one to look at the gathered information and convey it in a digital format and the other to work on the proposal in preparation for tomorrow's Meeting 2 with the Caribbean elderly group. Obviously carrying models to the meeting wasn't possible so we focused on a presentation.

In terms of the actual proposal we decided to suggest the following:

- a playground/ multifunctional park space with 24h management to be used by children/younger people and the elderly at different times
- another part of the site dedicated to vegetable cultivation with associated market place.
