The Hidden Engineering Behind Public Spaces, Art, and Play will bring together engineers from some of London’s largest regeneration areas to design and deliver walking tours and activities for local secondary school pupils in their areas.
Active travel charity, Sustrans, will work with 33 engineers from a mix of private sector firms, development corporations and local authorities across London and provide them with training and support to design and deliver engaging site-specific activities for a local school group. The project will engage up to 180 young people, from backgrounds underrepresented in engineering, with the aim of shining a light on the role of engineers in spaces not generally thought of as “engineered”, including parks, public art, and public realm.
