Because the small everyday spaces — the alley behind your street, the pocket park down the road — rarely get a say in how they're designed. We want to change that, and we can't do it without hearing from the people who actually use these spaces: what works, what doesn't, and what's missing.

We'll share what we've learned so far, and open the floor for your reactions, concerns, and ideas. Sessions are held under the Chatham House Rule, meaning you can speak freely — what's said stays in the room, without names attached.

Expect short updates from the CHESS team, followed by open discussion, and plenty of room for your questions and input to shape what happens next.

Let us know anyway — we're gathering input ahead of every session, not just during them.
