This includes text, audio, video, and photo entries, contributing to a collective knowledge base that grows over time. The data will not only help inform ongoing research but will also serve as a resource for future community discussions, educational projects, and urban planning initiatives. Additionally, participants' contributions will remain part of a living archive that helps shape future visions for the landscape, ensuring the stories and knowledge shared are preserved for future generations.
