Community involvement in planning and placemaking through
early, inclusive participatory Charrette processes can build consensus, speed
up planning and add social, economic and environmental value to projects,
leading to healthier, happier and more sustainable places. 20/20 Visions is an
inspiring and visually stimulating introduction to the practice of Charrette
based planning (and placemaking). 20 worldwide case studies, spanning 1990's projects
in USA to present day UK, explore the context, implementation and follow up of
the co-design process to illustrate its effectiveness in engaging all
stakeholders/communities and tackling multi-layered and often tackling
difficult development and planning issues.
