Join YoCo for a short video featuring local activists and thinkers, sharing their vision for the regeneration of York Central.
Booking is essential via Eventbrite here
Adjoining the City centre, York Central plans to create thousands of homes and jobs in an area which has traditionally been the industrial heart of York’s famous rail industry.
Our film, created for Local Futures - World Localisation Day, looks at how people of all ages can collectively design and develop an inclusive and attractive neighbourhood which they can call home. Featuring local children, we consider how innovative thinking at this stage can create a world where future generations can thrive.
The screening will be followed by an open discussion considering how such a neighbourhood could look and feel, be affordable and genuinely democratic, and meet the needs of those who live and work there.
This event is part of World Localisation day, organised by Local Futures
YoCo is a grassroots regeneration project in York, UK. We aim to create a thriving neighbourhood, where citizens take care of their environment and neighbours.
It’s a place where:
People create lives and an economy which is healthy and sustainable
Radical ideas and creativity are nurtured
Collective and individual happiness is the measure for success
People and their ability to live sustainably together are at the heart of all decision making
We build community owned neighbourhood, as inclusive as it is diverse
We aim to achieve this through understanding and connecting between:
People and Communities: placing people at the heart of what we do
Spaces and Places: Wellbeing and happiness is designed into YoCo, so buildings will be low carbon and well designed, the earth nurtured, and spaces accessible to all
Re-Shaping Economies: Reshaping our economy, into one that is fair and locally-rooted
