Place Facilitation
By Place facilitation we mean the ability to facilitate the urban design process to deliver places which meet and exceed the needs and aspirations of users (existing and expected). The easiest way to do this is to ask....
There are lots of ways to involve the client, stakeholders, community and users in the design process. Whether it is a meeting, workshop, planning, consultation or training - endorsement, innovation, transparency and creativity must be key outcomes. Almost certainly improving the likelihood of shared decisions and the effectiveness of the solutions.
