About
Engaging communities
Infrastructures underpin everyday life, providing resources and services, shaping urban environments. Engaging communities in infrastructure design and delivery is a key challenge for government, civil society, engineering and other professions
Bottom-up infrastructure approach
Bottom-Up Infrastructure is an approach that delivers local, engineering based projects through working with community and industry partners to develop innovative methods that both improve community engagement and infrastructure resilience.
Ethics
The ethical implications of community engagement can be profound and require deliberate and sensitive reflection.
Risk management
Risk management encompasses safety assessments of engagement activities for both researchers and participants as well as any broader psychological, economic or social risks they may be exposed to.
Working with others
Fundamental to the success of the community engagement approach in neighbourhood level engineering projects is working in partnership with other organisations .
Evaluation
Embedded from the outset, evaluation offers the mechanism to reflect on progress, learn from practice and measure outcomes.
