Listen addresses the challenge of polarised debates on concepts like the 15-minute City by advocating for slowing down participatory planning processes and fostering collective listening. In this context, listening implies a collective process involving groups such as local authorities, citizens, interest groups, designers and entrepreneurs in which to discover our interdependencies and imagine common projects. The project will develop frameworks, tools, protocols. In the process, it will explore collective listening forms (e.g. podcast/community radio, live projects, community walks) and re-imagine semi-public spaces and participatory planning procedures to support collective listening.
