Participate Chicago
From September 22nd to September 26th NEIGHBOURCHANGE Project will be in Chicago, University of Illinois, to attend to Participate!, an international conference on socio-spatial concepts in interdisciplinary approaches to planning, on interdisciplinary and participatory approaches in different fields of community development, and on various approaches to implementing governance in processes of interdisciplinary and socio-spatial urban planning.
Public participation has been promoted in the field of urban planning and development for many decades, yet there is no consensus on its impact on planning processes or how participatory approaches influence the results of planning.
