As part of this process, in June 2013 we had a workshop with the kids of the local St Paul’s with St Michael’s Primary School. They put their visions and dreams for the space into fanciful dioramas.
What if there were flying pigs and donkeys in Regent Estate? What about a swimming pool in front of the corner shop? Why not a chocolate fountain?
We decided to take on this challenge and make these seemingly unattainable dreams come true!
What we'll deliver:
- We will organise a local event based on the dreams of the kids translated into feasible installations and activities.
Why it's a great idea:
We will involve kids’ imaginations in the place making process. This will help them take ownership of their public space and play an active role in shaping it.
We will meet the requests of local residents, who have stressed the importance of hosting community events and re-designing the public space in line with kids' needs.
The “dreams coming true” event will contribute to the re-design of the public space, by stimulating its ownership and creative usage by the residents and by fostering a sense of community, neighbourliness and pride in the Estate.
Steps to get it done:
- Involve local organisations (Tenants & Residents Association, Schools) and volunteers, and organise a community event.

CLEAR VILLAGE is a London-based charity that helps communities build a better future through creative regeneration.
We work together with partners like social landlords, local councils and community groups to bring durable change to communities. We identify community challenges, build on existing community assets and involve community members through participatory design. In all our projects, our goal is to co-create solutions together with communities and ignite resilience from within.
Since our launch in 2010, we have carried out projects in 10 countries, worked in 8 languages, collaborated with 40+ partners, supported more than 30 social enterprise start-ups, rehabilitated thousands of square metres of forgotten space for community use, and secured hundreds of thousands of pounds in grant funding for community projects. In addition, we have built up a global network of experts in fields ranging from urbanism and sustainability to technology and anthropology to help us deliver innovative solutions.
