Video: Adeola Enigbokan on the shadow client and participatory architecture practices

A lack of gender balance and diversity is not only an issue in architectural offices, but also for those who have a voice in the design process. What attitudes and practices can architects develop in order to do effective participatory design? Where are the keys to more diverse voices in urban development and architectural projects?
