Founders TinaNandi13 and Anca Florescu Abraham of lypmumbai list a few public spaces in Mumbai where conscientious individuals can contribute in a meaningful way to the city while enjoying the rejuvenation that open spaces offer. openspaces
Love Your Parks Mumbai , was born out of two mothers’ collective frustration with local public parks where they took their children to play. Restrictive rules, unreasonably long closing hours, lack of safe access for pedestrians and poorly maintained infrastructure were all solid reasons for them to want to initiate change but they wanted to do more than just grumble in private about these civic predicaments.
That’s when Anca Florescu Abraham and Tina Nandi Stephens first set up a community choir in November 2018. At the end of six weeks, LYPMumbai Chorus presented two free public concerts called #SingForYourParks at Patwardhan and Joggers’ Parks in Bandra. The aim of the choir was to create a public and joyful noise, cultivating a community that could join the founders of LYPMumbai in advocating for change and have fun while doing it.
Anca and Tina believe that public spaces work best when there is community collaboration and spaces are kept active through regular programming. In order to encourage regular participation, the duo is constantly working to establish a robust feedback loop between the community and decision-makers about what does and doesn’t work, in a particular space.
LYPMumbai has collaborated with local entrepreneurs on more than a dozen events since December 2018 and continue to receive requests for events from all across the city. When I ask them what motivates them to invest so much of their time into a public welfare venture, they reply, “Firstly, we want to remind people how fun it is to be outdoors and do things together with new people. Secondly, we want people to feel a sense of responsibility and attachment for their public spaces.
