Culture of participation

Setting for urban planning

LCC: Original proposal

Set up a Local Consultative Committee

in each case study area

Aims-content (1). The LCC will aim to bring together local residents, voluntary groups, entrepreneurs, other local actors and planners.

RELATION TO EXISTING STRUCTURES?

Comparison of cases which are studied for the PICT-project. This enables us to compare different cases in their extent, duration, frame, etc. = basic setting

LCC: BXL local residents:

from the Local Commission of Integrated Development, but potentially all inhabitants invited from a neighbourhood

voluntary groups: neighbourhood associations, limit limit, JST, RISO but also umbrella organisations like BRAL and IEB,

entrepreneurs: through the LCDI, other local actors:

administration and authorities(both municipal and regional level), mayor, aldermen, spatial planning experts from the administration,

planners: planners in private study offices, intermediary of ‘Renovas’(non-profit organisation) and planning officials in administrations

RESEARCH = one of the players

Aims-content (2)

The remit of the LCC will be to advice the project team on planning,

preparation and implementation of the project;

to involve the local community in the project as much as possible;

to maximise the benefit brought to the local community by the project;

to facilitate the training process;

and to co-ordinate the resources provided by the project to enhance public participation.

LCC: BXL

to advice planningpreparation and implementation of the project:

from basic study, design phase to implementation

to involve the local community in the project as much as possible, to maximise the benefit brought to the local community by the project, to co-ordinate the resources provided by the project to enhance public participation

different attraction to get involved, better understanding and easier interaction

to facilitate the training process:

learning by doing, interactive development of tools

Timetable. This task will start at the seventh month of the project, after the review of public participation theory and practice is almost complete and will last until the end of the project, to oversee the trial run of the training package and contribute to the dissemination of the project results.

Expected outcomes/results.

the establishment and operation of a new, voluntary body,

to monitor and facilitate the project activities, especially on participation issues and learning for participation.

The results of this task will include more effective mediation between architects/planners and their clients, more widespread participation in learning activities among the general public and the facilitation of a new participatory ethos among both architects/planners and the citizens-users of their plans.
