Participatory Approach to Core Area Development. A Guide to Good Practice. Fact Sheet 10: Participatory Site Planning.

Abstract

With mixed use development aiming to integrate a wide variety of different

land use and tenures, the preparation and planning phase needs to be

thorough to avoid the possibility of having to introduce expensive

alterations at a later stage. The use of computer modelling exercises

(outlined here) and participatory planning approaches (see Fact Sheet 6

and Fact Sheet 9) during this phase help to assess the financial

affordability and cultural acceptance of different development scenarios.

This introduces an element of transparency from which trust can begin to

develop between stakeholders.
