designed around D&D principles look like? Cities regularly talk about
developing physical infrastructure. But how about participatory infrastructure?
How can we develop institutions and processes to bring neighborhoods together
in regular and ongoing dialogue? We'll talk about how a number of cities are
already moving in this direction, creating innovative citizen-participation
systems. We'll discuss the work we are doing in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:City></st1:place>, legislatively and with
communities, to create a citywide network of neighborhood assemblies that are
independent from but recognized by city hall, and integrated into city
decision-making processes. Participants in the session will be asked to use
their knowledge of D&D tools and processes and their collective imagination
to design model "neighborhood constitutions" instituting D&D
practices into the ongoing routine of community life. Our meeting will use
processes borrowed from Future Search and The World Cafe, among others.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
