Charrettes

Charrettes are collaborative workshops where stakeholders—such as community members, designers, and decision-makers—come together to discuss and brainstorm ideas on a specific project, often related to urban planning, architecture, or community development. The goal is to gather diverse perspectives, encourage creativity, and facilitate problem-solving in a structured environment. Participants engage in discussions, share insights, and develop potential solutions, usually over one or several intensive sessions. This participatory process helps ensure that the final outcome reflects the needs and desires of the community, fostering a sense of ownership and investment in the project.
