"People who had capital, had no imagination. While people who had imagination, had no capital." -- Marcus Westbury, Renew Newcastle "Why is there always a need for a crisis situation to see how fruitful and wonderful refugee immigration can be." -- Charlot Schans, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam. This urban panel from reSITE 2016 asks "What is Inclusive Design? This panel of city experts covers a variety of angles focused on public space, urban planning, and architectural design and how it is applied to migrant populations in the urban environment. They discuss how they address the needs of refugees, how these approaches differ from city to city along with a dive deep into the difficulties they encounter in managing a lack of resource access. Their respective experiences in experimenting with city building and activating civilian participation offer invaluable insight.

We work at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, culture, and economics. We feature thought leaders whose work pushes the boundaries on how we build, design, regenerate and create life in cities, and frame them through many lenses, convening them in one place. We act as a catalyst for social action and innovative leadership. We encourage an exchange of ideas about making cities more livable, competitive, and resilient. We protect and promote public space, architecture, and sustainable development in cities. All to make our cities more livable, competitive, resilient, inclusive, mobile, and designed with humans in mind.
