Human-ness | Shaakira Chohan | TEDxPretoria

Architect, Shaakira Chohan believes that the development of cities should be less about service delivery and should instead focus on serving the citizens. "When people feel disconnected from their space, they disregard it and it perpetuates its disintegration." To avoid this disconnect, we need to put the human at the center of the design of an area. Shaakira is a Professional Architect and Urbanist who uses her qualifications and experience to bring excellence in design back to city and local government projects. Through her work, she has changed the way the City interacts and engages with its communities. By introducing new participatory processes and co-producing solutions with the communities that she works in, she has committed her work toward bringing City and Citizen planning together. Shaakira is passionate about responsive and co-productive design. She has led the transformation of the City’s approach to design and the manner in which it services its citizens. She has introduced new practices to ensure that communities are empowered through their direct contribution and participation in their spaces. This allows for the design to be a reflection of the social environment within which it is situated. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
