Culture Hack: Right to Grow Citizens Assembly | Nowadays
A high-level hackathon-meets-assembly format, this Citizen's Assembly brings together ministers, mayors, and city networks alongside grassroots organisers, artists, and youth assemblies in rapid-fire solution circles. Building on the Right to Grow movement, the assembly mobilises practical, people-powered, nature-based solutions that open up urban land for food growing, cultural expression, and climate resilience.
This assembly puts people’s democracy into practice, pairing public participation with data-driven tools to shape equitable, regenerative cities. Through storytelling, interactive mapping, and “greenprints,” participants will co-design actionable, scalable commitments for urban resilience. The space is designed as an active forum and working lab – where participants test ideas, share tools, and prototype real-world applications of Nature Rights as everyday civic practice built on play, imagination, and hands-on solutions.
