Approach
Efficiency is Integral
Live+Work Accra will implement a novel supply chain strategy to facilitate rapid, low-cost and high quality construction
Osu Community Reconsidered
HOUSING
A Community Anchor, providing community and cultural cohesion.
SOCIAL
A Hub of Business Incubators advancing local goods and services innovations.
EDUCATION
An Exchange of information and knowledge necessary to support local and regional economic and cultural production.
ECONOMY
A Hub of Economic Activity and Innovation fueled by proximities to talent, creativity, technology and financial resources.
ECOLOGY
A Ecological Balance struck between living, cultural and economic production, infrastructure such energy, water, waste and natural resources. Embodied energy reduction is achieved through adaptive reuse.
HEALTH
A Social and Cultural platform aimed at supporting and improving the broad range of social and spatial health determinants of health and their outcomes.
Community is created by shared values. For those values to take root and grow, a basic infrastructure must exist. We contend that basic infrastructure is housing. Ghanaian history and progress exhibit a cultural and social cohesion that overcomes many of the social, economic and infrastructural challenges facing Accra. Advancing community driven circular economies, new and existing Accra communities using community reconsidered principles can foster local hubs of renewed activity and economic and cultural production.
