The Non-Hierarchical Site

Re-making platform for boosting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)’ Knowledge-sharing

Client: Urban Economy Forum for Virtual Pavilion in Toronto We are proposing the design of a non-hierarchical knowledge platform, a website that curates SDG-related cases and actively keeps them updated and discussed. A website that balances the robustness of knowledge and the interaction between decision-makers and citizens.
