PublicDecisions and Planetizen are pleased to jointly offer Nick Wates' popular course, Participatory Planning Overview: How to Devise an Engagement Strategy for Any Development Situation.

The course will be held on Wednesday, 28 July at 14:00 Eastern (New York)/19:00 GMT and it will be part of the Webinar Wednesday series that Planetizen offers. Participants can attend the session “live” or access the webinar “on demand” at Planetizen’s website.

This course is particularly valuable for engagement practitioners who work on development/redevelopment (sometimes referred to as 'regeneration') projects.

Description: Involving local people in planning and development issues is a bedrock principle of the planning profession. This training session provides an overview of the range of participatory planning methods available, and it equips participants with the practical ability to devise a participatory community planning strategy for their own situation.
