108 The Moor has been the hub of the Castlegate Co-Production process. Home to various workshops, talks, consultation sessions and public drop-ins, the space has been vital in providing an equitable, accessible, public-facing urban forum for this process.
When Sheffield City Council won nearly £20m of Levelling-Up funding from the UK Government, Live Works' Urban Room became the site of an intensive series of public engagement sessions. These were designed to invite broader collaboration and input from citizens on the proposals for a new heritage park on the Castle Hill site. Data collected from these sessions were collated into 13 recommendations that together formed the Castlegate Common Manifesto report. These recommendations have been used as touchstones during the ongoing delivery of Sheffield City Council's Levelling-Up Fund commitments in Castlegate - cementing the role of the Urban Room as facilitator of meaningfrul and inclusive community engagement in the regeneration of the area.
Since the formation of the Castlegate Area Board and Working Groups, 108 the Moor has served as a space for co-design workshops with members of the Events, Stewardship and Pioneers group, who represent a number of community stakeholder organisations in the area. These sessions ensure that the voice of grassroots initiatives and local activist groups are involved in the design process and represented in its outputs. Facilitated by the Live Works team, these sessions have resulted in the co-production of a series of design ideas and programmatic requirements which will be embedded in the regeneration works.
Live Works has instigated, installed and programmed a number of temporary Urban Rooms elsewhere in the City Centre as part of the Castlegate Co-Production process, including an installation in an empty shop on Exchange Street, and a Pop-Up Urban Room in Canada House.
