What do you do if your public meetings and workshops as an urban planner are not engaging the community?
Urban planning, at its core, is about fostering communities that are functional, sustainable, and reflective of the inhabitants' needs and aspirations. As an urban planner, your role is not just to map out spaces and infrastructures but to ensure that the public's voice is integral to the planning process. However, if you find your public meetings and workshops are met with disinterest or low engagement, it's a signal that your approach may need some fine-tuning. It's crucial to understand that engagement is a two-way street; your goal is to create a platform where community members feel heard, valued, and motivated to participate actively in shaping their environment.
