Artist’s impressions : an inclusivity checklist
Ever been part of a community engagement or behavior change project? You know those artist’s impressions and renders are meant to show us the future... but how often do they really show us? In a city as diverse as Melbourne, shouldn't everyone – regardless of ability, background, or how they get around – be able to see themselves in the picture?
We're not just talking about ticking boxes for diversity. We want renders that capture the real Melbourne vibe. Imagine streets where everyone moves freely, accessible trams are the standard, and the genuine cultural diversity is showcased. When people see themselves in the design, they connect with their city. And that's how we build a Melbourne that's even more vibrant and welcoming.
So, to help with that, let’s create renders that don't just showcase buildings, but the beautiful tapestry of Melburnians who'll use them. Let's design a city where everyone feels seen and valued.
Ready to get started? Our checklist is packed with tips for creating inclusive and representative urban designs. Let's paint a picture of Melbourne that truly reflects its diverse heart.
Here's what we'll cover:
Designing for All Abilities: Making sure everyone can move around easily and enjoy public spaces.
Celebrating Cultural Diversity: Showcasing the many faces and traditions of our city.
Transportation for Everyone: From bikes to trams, making sure everyone has a way to get around.
