Get under the skin of the culture…

…and the lives people live

Identify people’s feelings andexperiences of community…

…understand what people think isshaped by different values

Is shaped by the environment andinfrastructure around them

Utilities

Food

Products

Money

The future of collaboration couldbring many opportunities…

…but people find it more difficult tolive and act together than before
