Abstract
How can we practice urbanism care-fully, with an attention to the wellbeing and vitality of the more-than-human? Such a question is fundamental now if we are to counter current Anthropocenic processes and actively transition to urban cultures of care. In this text I review recent work on a tool designed to support a care-based ethical attention to urban and wider living systems wellbeing. With diverse communities future-focused ‘compasses’ were co-created which acted as collaborative direction finders and activation tools for mauri ora or living systems wellbeing. I explore here whether such re-orienting methods can provide a meaningful way to assist communities to activate transitions from extractive to care-based urban practices.Description
