Future Planners
Re-thinking the cultural, environmental and democratic role of planners and planning
The planning system has been reborn – what roles will planners be playing, and what tools will they need, to maximise the democratic potential of the planning system?
Workshop and Narrative
at 2:07pm on Monday, 24th July 2006
We've been developing our Future Planners story for a while now - a process that really began with the writing of the 'Production Values' chapter. And the most recent session was last week's workshop here at Demos (pictures in the Flickr feed on the right). Thanks to everyone that came and withstood the intense heat and brought real skill, experience and insight to a compelling day's work.
With that workshop and through our initial thoughts from the interviews and case-studies, we have produced a slide that maps the direction of our thinking and the emerging narrative for the project.
We decided it would be a good idea to put that draft up on the blog and invite comment and critique. You can download it here. We'll be putting up some notes shortly to accompany the graphics and flesh out the argument a little.
It could be a good way to involve more people in the process of developing our thinking and be a useful space for reflecting openly on the planning system and profession.
(And not least to begin testing the new website as a mechanism for more open research processes and better feedback loops.)
So do feel free to download, comment, critique, praise, take apart, alter and rework the arguments - either below in the comments box or via email.
