THE PEOPLE’S STAND
Welcome ... to the new council of the Band Stand. This council aims to plant a seed of thought within the city in order to create an alternative vision for our future society. The People’s Stand is a platform for citizens from the local community of Bristol to express their thoughts and concerns about the city. This council hopes to start a debate regarding different concerns within the community, therefore raising awareness between local citizens that commute pass the band stand. The Band Stand council is an alternative way to tackle issues within the city. The Band Stand is not being used for its original purpose . It is currently a gathering place, which was once a place for bands to play, which could now be a place to project people’s voices from all over the city.
WE ARE IGNORING WHAT IS IN OUR DOOR STEP
How does it work The People’s Stand is an online platform that works as a forum in order to create interaction. The Band Stand is designed to resonate and echo the sound that is being played. Following this same principle the Band Stand gives a louder voice to the people of Bristol. There is no hierarchical structure in this platform. The structure of the council is based on people’s proactiveness and willingness to debate and get involved with things they are interested in or concerned about.

Create an event Anyone can create an event. It should be organised and shared online with the local community and even promoted elsewhere if individuals feel this is necessary. It is here where the physical location comes to life, the band stand recycles its purpose and brings communities together once more.
The Promise How does people engage and how are they empowered by this tool to create a better city, the ideal city they would like to live in, is the prromisse of a better city.
