Shilal fara badan ayaa ka dhaca wadooyinka Philips oo keena dhimasho iyo dhaawac khatar ah. Ujeedada mashruuca waa in lagu yareeyo xawaaraha gaadiidka lana horumariyo amaanka gaadiidka. Marka la gaaro ujeedooyinkaas, wadooyinku waxa ay noqonayaan kuwo amaan ah dadka oo dhan jecelysan karaan in ay ku lugeeyaan, ama gawaari ku wadaan.

Public meetings

We conducted two rounds of engagement for this project. Each round included a series of public meetings and events. The first round introduced the project to residents. It helped decide what types of improvements to focus on and where. The second round updated stakeholders on the design progress and helped inform its decisions.
