We Live Here Too is a participatory workshop that invites children to explore the city as a shared habitat for humans and other species. Developed within the Naturescapes project, the initiative uses creative and educational practices to open up conversations about multispecies urban futures.

The workshop begins by shifting perspective. Instead of approaching the city from a human standpoint, participants are introduced to a particular species—such as a bat, a moth, or heather—and learn about its ecological role, rhythms, and habitat needs. From this perspective, the city becomes something different: a landscape of shelters, corridors, food sources, and risks. Participants are then invited to imagine and design urban environments where these species could live and thrive.

The initiative is developed in collaboration with the design studio Feral Malmö and carried out together with educators at Slottsskogen, Gothenburg, where the surrounding park and natural history museum provide a setting for exploring the relationships between species and the city.

By combining ecological knowledge, storytelling, and speculative design, We Live Here Too encourages participants to think beyond human-centred urban planning and to imagine cities as places where many forms of life coexist. The workshop asks a simple but transformative question: what might change if we began to design cities from the perspective of those who also live here?
