Toward the end of the 1950s, Bras\u00edlia was constructed to be the capital of Brazil. It was built \u201cfrom scratch\u201d by laborers who not only couldn\u2019t afford to live there, but weren\u2019t allowed to. Now, as the fourth-largest city in population in the country, Bras\u00edlia faces dramatic socio-spatial segregation, due to the urban policies that kept it sectored. To challenge this reality, it is necessary not only to develop new policies but also to plan for public mechanisms that foster civic participation and value citizens\u2019 priorities. The concept of \u201cparticipation,\u201d however, has been dangerously misused. When the population is called upon to give their input on issues that are not clear, the outcomes tend not to represent the need of the communities in question. This creates an obstacle: Without knowledge of urban processes and an effective path to achieve their vision, urban citizens feel powerless. They are unable to exercise their \u201cright to the city.\u201d In this project, I contextualize this \u201curban illiteracy\u201d in Bras\u00edlia. A sense of belonging is emerging among the new generation of this young city. They are carving a space to create their urban identity. This moment is ripe for the youth to take Bras\u00edlia. This project is meant to inspire them, to assist them in their discovery of their role as citizens, and to provide the tools that can support them in achieving their vision of the city\u2019s future. In collaboration with one local partner, I am proposing and prototyping an after-school pilot project for high school students in Taguatinga, Bras\u00edlia. Students will be encouraged to investigate, explore, understand, and discuss their neighborhood in the context of the city and to use creativity as a way to express the outcomes of their findings.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
