The Hammersmith & Fulham Civic Campus is one of the UK’s most ambitious examples of inclusive placemaking. Following a short case study introduction, this panel explores how the project’s commitment to being “ruthlessly inclusive” shaped the design process, stakeholder engagement, and final outcomes, offering valuable lessons for designers, clients, and public sector organisations.
· Embedding inclusion and accessibility from the earliest stages of a project
· The role of co-design, lived experience, and community engagement
· Lessons learned from working with disability and user advocacy groups
