But no trace of intelligent roots allowing buildings and inhabitants of the city to &#8220;grow better&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">With that being said, there are still plenty of inspiring examples of people and communities around the world who work on <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">reinventing the way we live in cities, and the way we make them<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In fact, an increasing number of bottom-up and collaborative movements have gained prominence in the fields of architecture and urban planning, such as tactical urbanism, do-it-yourself urbanism, guerrilla urbanism, or placemaking, to name a few. Although they take different forms in terms of strategy and implementation, these bottom-up urban initiatives all reflect a desire to reintroduce urbanism as a civic practice, while organising the city differently. Meanwhile, and especially in recent years, public participation in conventional urban planning has become more and more of a requirement, leading planners, designers and property developers to organize citizen consultation as part of their planning process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Whether they are top-down, bottom-up or a mix of both, all of <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">these initiatives show the path for building liveable, inclusive, and more sustainable places<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">. In their many varieties, they all generate more interaction and cooperation between the actors of the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">But quite interestingly, these positive outcomes are usually <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 20px;\">invisible<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">. In the end, what will be celebrated and remembered is usually the <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; text-decoration-line: underline;\">concrete outcome<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> in the built environment: the building or urban works that have been carried out.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2614\" src=\"https:\/\/theurbanmycelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theurbanmycelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img2.png 1025w, https:\/\/theurbanmycelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img2-300x239.png 300w, https:\/\/theurbanmycelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img2-768x612.png 768w, https:\/\/theurbanmycelium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/img2-16x12.png 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">This very point was a source of frustration for me while I was working in the field of participatory city making. I used to lead participatory processes for municipalities, property developers, and urban planners who required our help to involve the local community in the design of their project. Not only did these co-creation processes help create higher quality urban projects, but it also generated more understanding, cooperation and trust between professionals and non-professionals of the city. Yet, this was hardly something which was celebrated nor acknowledged, leading to some disappointment for the people who had participated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">This is exactly how this blog was born, from my desire to tell you about cities and its making from the perspective of these invisible, yet very important human dynamics. Just like the fungi roots that connect trees together and help them grow, <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">the urban mycelium is everything that help the actors of the city improve their practice and better cooperate with each other<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">, in order to create positive changes in the urban ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'hk grotesk semibold'; font-size: 1.75rem;\">How does this blog work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In The Urban Mycelium Blog, I share my thoughts and experience on human-centered, participatory and sustainable city making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\">In fact, during my studies as a civil engineer and urbanist, and since I have started working as an urban consultant and facilitator, I have gained an extensive knowledge about how to make the city not only<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> for<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> the people, but also <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px; text-decoration-line: underline;\"><em>with<\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"> the people.
