Distributed cities aim to support growth outside of major urban areas through clusters. A workshop discussed techniques like management and manufacturing skills as well as ways of thinking, being, seeing, and doing. Participants felt empowered with new information and skills, and that the program created something durable by giving them direction to become self-sufficient.

what works for you – a Smorgasboard of tools”
“We have been given more information and skills and we feel empowered
It’s not just “wouldn’t it be nice to” now we know we can.”
“We needed someone to direct us clearly to get us to where we don’t need
someone”
“Something has been created over the last 6 months that has a durability to
it”
