Community Engagement in Planning

Community engagement in planning involves actively involving local residents and stakeholders in the decision-making process for projects like infrastructure, development, or policy changes. It ensures that the community’s needs, concerns, and ideas are considered, leading to more informed and publicly supported outcomes. This process can include public meetings, surveys, workshops, and collaborative discussions. Engaging the community helps build trust, enhances transparency, and results in plans that better reflect the community’s priorities, ultimately creating more effective and sustainable solutions that benefit everyone involved.
