Pattern 44
Local Town Hall
Context Community of 700012
Problem
Administration housed in remote, hard-to-reach buildings feels abstract and foreign — citizens experience self-government not as something that belongs to them, but as something decided over their heads.
Solution
Give every community an inviting town hall at its heart, easy to reach and open to view, so citizens can see the workings of self-government and feel that it truly belongs to them.
