Engaging local communities in the design process is essential. Join Community Design PPN leaders Stacey Weaks, ASLA, and Wendy Mok, ASLA, with our presenters Robert L. Ryan, FASLA, and Hongbing Tang, ASLA, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, to learn about innovative approaches to public participation, share your experiences, and network with leaders in the field. The session will feature a brief presentation focusing on a web-based tool kit entitled Reimagining Community Participation in Landscape Architecture and Planning that uses a framework from environmental psychology to develop a research informed approach. Attendees will explore new techniques for community engagement throughout the design process in a brief interactive activity led by the project team.
