A charette is a multi-day workshop focused on participatory design and decision making. It brings together stakeholders, residents, and experts to develop plans and solutions. A typical charette process involves advance work to engage communities, followed by intensive workshops over several days where issues are identified, visions created, and concepts developed and refined through feedback. Charettes aim to produce consensus-driven outcomes through an open and transparent collaborative process focused on the specific place or community. Key considerations include the strategic purpose, level of community involvement, and ensuring any solutions are realistic given local needs, priorities and resources.
