Community-based planning
Community-based planning is a collaborative process that involves local residents in decision-making about the development and use of their community's resources and spaces. It seeks to understand the needs, values, and priorities of the community to create plans that reflect their preferences and objectives. This approach encourages participation from diverse community members, ensuring that various perspectives are considered. The goal is to create sustainable, effective solutions that enhance quality of life, promote local culture, and address issues like housing, transportation, and environmental concerns, ultimately fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents.
