Throughout 2012 the PROUD project worked with City and County Councils to co-design the space beyond Lancaster’s castle. Public Realm Officer for Lancaster City Council Helen Ryan saw the value that the visual creative tools we developed brought to the process as they helped to attract people and draw them into the creative part of the planning process. So we agreed to collaborate with Helen to create a toolkit of innovative consultation tools. This project follows the development, prototyping, testing and refining of the toolkit from ideation to realisation throughout 2013-14.
