ACTIVITIES
JUSTHood
JUSThood method®
is an innovative method developed by Urbanitarian that empowers inhabitants to envision the design of their neighborhoods in an equitable way. Based on a design-driven approach, JUSThood method is a game-based method, positioned at the intersection of three topics – masterplanning, spatial equity and participatory futures, where a set of cards (What-If, Persona, Design cards) is used to imagine scenarios and map ideas on the masterplans.
JUSThood network
is a network of hubs and JUSThood mentors in different countries who are trained in spatial equity and participatory futures approaches in general, and in implementation of JUSThood method® in particular.
JUSThood index
is a tool which can be used to measure spatial equity of urban places. It allows to quantify and operationalize spatial equity concept to bring it to the table with authorities, and compare spatial equity of different places across geographies and contexts.

U-SCAT
U-SCAT (Urban Social Capital Assessment Tool) is a survey-based methodology to produce
social capital index for urban places. The goal of U-SCAT is to bring a different type of
metrics to measuring the well-being of our cities. The tool has been implemented in the city
of Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan and the results will be uploaded in April 2023 on the Civic City
Dashboard (https://citydata.kg/).
