The document summarizes public engagement strategies in Washington D.C.: - The city employs various engagement methods at the neighborhood level, including neighborhood planners and community meetings, to involve residents in planning. - It also undertakes a comprehensive planning process every 4-12 years that establishes land use policies and guides development, which involves residents, businesses, institutions and other stakeholders across the city's 8 wards. - For the upcoming comprehensive plan amendment process, the city aims to engage over 8,000 residents, representing the city's diverse demographics, through various communication methods.

The art combining physical and virtual participation

Louis-Alexandre Cazal

Base on a strong ‘face to face meetings’ legacy, the Office de consultation publique de Montreal (OCPM) acknowledges that citizens and civil society groups are using different types of technologies and new medias to express their opinions, to get informed and to create online communities. This societal transformation led us to begin a long reflection on how to integrate these rich online contents and how to innovate through a hybrid methodology.

The Design Assistance Program

American Institute of Architects

This document summarizes citizen engagement efforts in cities and the role of design assistance teams in facilitating community-led change. It notes that over 80% of US cities regularly use public engagement processes and over half of citizens want to be involved in community planning. Design assistance teams provide a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to help communities beyond just plans by engaging citizens, fostering partnerships, and creating action strategies to leverage public and private resources for implementation. Examples of design assistance projects in cities like Detroit, Austin, and post-Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts are briefly described.

City as a Service, CaaS, development

Paivi Sutinen

City as a Service (CaaS) is Espoo's approach to strategic service development through co-creation with residents. CaaS involves developing open innovation ecosystems through place-based platforms to solve urban challenges. It is based on service-dominant logic where value is co-created with customers through collaboration. The city aims to accelerate CaaS by offering resources like data, tools, platforms, and networks to support experimentation and scaling of solutions from the local to global levels. Examples of CaaS in Espoo include schools serving as innovation platforms, a service center operating as an open innovation hub, and utilizing data and networks as platforms for sharing learning across Finland and Europe.

This document discusses designing inclusive urban environments in developing countries. It notes that the global population is aging and urbanizing rapidly. The author's PhD research aims to understand how best practices from inclusive urban design in developed countries can be adapted to developing country contexts, and to identify challenges and solutions. The World Health Organization's Age-friendly Cities program aims to optimize health, participation and security as people age through accessible and inclusive urban structures and services. However, questions remain around implementing this program in less developed areas experiencing rapid urbanization and informal settlements.

New Settlements or New Communities

It presents a social sustainability framework and examples of how social sustainability has been incorporated into developments through things like community development workers, sociologists helping early residents, community land trusts and adaptable shared spaces. The workshop explored what stakeholders like local government, housing associations and residents can do at different stages from planning to long-term stewardship to promote social sustainability in new places.

This document discusses the need for social innovation in urban planning and placemaking. It argues that existing development models often fail to create thriving communities because they do not put people at the heart of the process. True social innovation requires recognizing how local residents feel about their community, trying new collaborative approaches, and using creative tools to address social needs in innovative ways. The document provides examples of social innovation projects from the UK and Denmark that have helped engage communities and address issues like disadvantage through new solutions developed with local participation.

E4 Tax Increment Financing

Southern New England American Planning Association

The document summarizes two projects developed by Corporation for Independent Living (CIL) using tax increment financing (TIF): 1) First Town Square in Windsor, CT involved renovating a historic but vacant building. TIF helped cover the project's $884,000 funding gap.

Street space and informality: towards an inclusive community

Jimly Faraby

This paper summarizes the evolution of views about street, and describes some empirical evidences from several cases showing the potentiality of street to bring inclusive community. From such cases, informal utilization of street space seems to be one of key factors to bring social interaction in street space, especially in developing countries. Therefore, while government’s attitude toward informality is often cumbersome, apparently informality needs to be taken into account in urban planning and design process in developing countries, including Indonesia, to stimulate social life in urban area.

The document discusses the Arctic Resilient Cities Network (ARCN) which aims to establish a regional platform under the UN Global Making Cities Resilient Campaign. This will provide Arctic cities with tools and methodologies for building resilience. ARCN seeks to transfer knowledge and expertise between Arctic cities and make them "lighthouse" cities demonstrating urban resilience. It will also allow Arctic leaders to engage with local governments globally. The goal is to make the Arctic region and its cities more resilient to the environmental, economic, and social challenges they currently face.

Street design and the reality of urban life in the global south

Jimly Faraby

The document discusses whether streets in the global south are inclusive. It notes that historically streets were lively social spaces, but current discourse is limited to developed world contexts. The reality in cities like Dar es Salaam is that streets see active socializing but are male-dominated and lack opportunities for all. Issues include lack of space for activities and unsupportive policies toward informal street vendors. Urban design could play a role in balancing needs and making marginalized groups more visible and included.
