The prototype involves various stakeholders their roles and responsibilities are as follows:

 

1. Town Council – The town council facilitates the collection of unwanted furniture & objects currently strewn in communal areas within the neighborhood for upcycling, as their responsibility entails maintenance of order in the estate.

 

2. Residents / Contractor – The residents would then be involved in the design process of the modules made from the upcycled materials, which is then carried out by professional contractors who process these materials into the product.

 

3. NParks – They are consulted on the health of the selected rain tree due to its importance as the core and supporting structure of the prototype. Once the checks are complete, NParks approval enables the project to move forward.

 

4. Construction Team – They construct the main structural frame and insert the modules into the site.

 

5. Users – Residents and stray cats alike will start to gravitate toward the space, and volunteers will help to maintain cleanliness of space, feed the cats & clear the litter. Adaptations to the space will also happen as a natural process.

 

6. Veterinary service – Vaccinate and ensure local cats are healthy, which in turns also ensures safety of residents.

 

7. NEA – Clearance of rubbish and waste collected by volunteers as mentioned in Step 5.

 

8. Social Media – Social media platforms to reach a larger audience with our message using the prototype, allowing it to expand and be implemented within other neighborhoods as well.

 

9. HDB – With the demolition of en bloc mature flats, we can liaise with HDB for new upcycling projects using the unwanted materials from the demolition, and Step 1-8 can repeat within a different site.
