Using the 4 lenses to frame a community response to the draft Pontypridd Place Plan

In Pontypridd our local council drafted a place plan for the town only offering 3 weeks for the community to respond. Pontypridd Friends of the Earth held a community engagement event using the 4 lenses to frame the conversation. We introduced doughnut economics & the 4 lens approach, collectively tried to imagine what is to what if - to transform our mindset to possibilities for transformation of the town and together went on a 'walkshop' to the key sites in the plan to explore these possibilities.

You can read our response to the plan here and see how local people interpreted action under each of the 4 lenses:
