A workshop to shape ideas for YoCo’s proposed co-owned neighbourhood on the York Central site. How do we start with the local community and expertise from here and elsewhere in the city, and create a place where people really live, work, learn, and play together, and where we make the most of the connections between these varied activities?

• How do we build on local ideas and enthusiasm?

• What sort of economic structures enable good ideas to take root and grow?

• What sort of buildings and spaces allow a really mixed-use neighbourhood to flourish?

Join us on Saturday 14th May from 1:00pm – 4:00pm at St Barnabas Church, for a workshop on growing a mixed-use neighbourhood. We’ll hear about the history of Spark:York CIC from the founders, and consider how “meanwhile use” on the York Central site can sow the seeds for a range of businesses which will drive the local economy as the site develops. We’ll have design talent in the room with architects from around the city, and we’ll shape a creative session which gets everyone thinking about key questions and how we can answer them. We have some initial funding to work up ideas for meanwhile use on York Central – so let’s decide how best to do this!

There will be refreshments, and of course, There Will be Cake!
