Welcome to our first-ever design thinking workshop with a REAL brief.
The Invercargill City Council have received funding from the Waka Kotahi Innovating streets fund for three special temporary projects which will bring the chance to truly innovate the city’s streets.
We’re running a workshop for one specific project: CBD Activations & street transformations
The Invercargill City Council is currently developing the masterplan for the CBD. Many of the streets in the CBD are undergoing a major transformation with Invercargill Central Limited’s development of a new shopping precinct and the nearby ILT Langlands Hotel development. Working with local businesses, community, schools and interest groups, the project team will work alongside the community in plans to bring life, activity, and fun to the streets to bring people into the CBD and to help them reimagine what the spaces could look like.

By taking part in these workshops, you can learn all about design thinking, test your ideas, and see them brought to life right here in Invercargill.
What you can expect:
Sprint methodologies - we’ll move quickly, come up with huge amounts of ideas, and narrow down to the ones we love. Then we’ll iterate on those to make them as awesome as they can be.
Loads of energy - two hours will disappear SO QUICK, so be prepared to move quickly, get excited and experience every emotion you have (probably).
Different people - we welcome ANYONE to come and codesign. Our city should reflect its people. And our people are diverse.
