What Makes a Welcoming Neighborhood?
The Community Idea Board traveled around the Mifflandia Neighborhood (West Washington - West Mifflin Area) throughout the city of Madison’s planning process. This interactive board included colored plexi-glass squares that were used by participants to share their ideas for a future Mifflandia. The colors corresponded to different themes and encouraged people to draw, write and place their wishes in a tessellated grid of movement and color. The additive process allowed people
to have a collective conversation about what makes for a welcoming neighborhood.
The community idea board was repurposed and is now being used by the Madison Public Library! Click on the button to read how the community is interacting with it.
