Community-led design
Saturday, 25th Sep 2021
public space is ‘co-produced’;
it only comes into being when it is activated by the presence of people
We know that when citizens are involved in planning and designing their local areas it is good for the place and good for the wellbeing of the community.
And the greater the involvement of local people, the greater the benefits that they can expect.
Participation in planning goes well beyond traditional consultation processes and involved local people as leaders, collaborators or active contributors to the decision-making process.
Case Studies
A wide variety of community-led design and participation process have been delivered across Scotland in recent years. You can access useful case studies on some of these processes here.
