This project aimed to create a sense of belonging in the city by using an app adapted from the Urban Belonging Project in Copenhagen. Where people from all walks of life, including homeless individuals, deaf, ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and more can express their sense of belonging in a city with pictures and annotations based off of Seattle’s comprehensive plan. The data collected will be analyzed with intersectionality in mind before being presented to the city.
The goal of the r3made project is to educate and engage the community of the Duwamish River area on how to properly separate out their waste.
