1. Think and comment on an existing Citizen Design Science project in urban design and planning from your area or country. I am a resident of the city of Lucknow, India. In our country all urban design were mostly influenced by Political leaders and not by planners. Because of this the relationship between the development and infrastructure is always a mess. To solve those issues, the drafted urban design should be given for a public opinion. 2. Think and comment on the following example: Habitats of a certain neighborhood don’t feel safe when they walk in their neighborhood in the evening and during the night. You are working for the local government and want to solve this problem through improvement of the public spaces. How would you start-up a Citizen Design Science project? The idea to include community participation in design is of utmost importance, as can be seen in many cases, such as those of slum rehabilitation, that because of non-acceptance by public, the project becomes unsuccessful. Night and a safety life and safety environment can be achieved through land use map. Zoning plays a major role in public safety. Instead of mass hierarchy in zoning, we should think of mixed zoning system in land use map planning. 3. Imagine that you have set up a project wherein you would like to make use of Citizen Design Science. Which guidelines are important in creating your own Citizen Design Science project? There is a need to invoke public participation in urban planning, as a developing country; promoting energy efficient building materials effectively using sustainable building materials promoting recycle developing open spaces road networks education systems is of utmost importance for the nations welfare.
