This paper presents the findings from a twelve-week multi-stakeholder design research project investigating “how can a more-than-human perspective transform the Mill Road neighborhood into a safe, biodiverse, and low-carbon environment?” undertaken between May and July 2024 by students and staff from MA Interior Design Innovation, MA Art, Health and Wellbeing, and MA Human-Centered Design courses at the Cambridge School of Art, ARU. The Mill Road neighborhood is an important area in Cambridge, UK that requires rethinking of the relationships between human and other beings and could benefit from place-based innovative and strategic approaches to build a more caring, sustainable, and humanity-centred world. While current examples of transitioning to green goals have focused on reducing harm, this paper advances current understanding by taking a ‘systematic four-step approach’ in which strategic interventions along the Mill Road explore possibilities for human systems and the built environment to co-exist through effective behavior change with the natural systems. This perspective draws from Mayer and Knox’s (2006) concept of “slow cities” as an alternative urban development strategy; Hinchliffe and Whatmore’s (2006) concept of “living cities” emphasizing the messy nature of ecological co-fabrication; Haraway’s (2008) idea of “becoming with” which highlights the interconnectedness and encounters with other species; Puig de la Bellacasa’s (2017) notion of “living with” focusing on a more engaged forms of agency; Hyvärinen’s (2019) exploration of “multispecies livelihoods” as a form of situated knowledge; and Author (2023) “thinking cities” which views cities as dynamic organisms shaped by shared actions and reactions.
