How can the public process be organized to create win-win outcomes for communities and developers? What role can charrettes (public design workshops) play in community planning and real estate development? What are the most effective ways to conduct a charrette? This intensive, two-part certification addresses these questions and more, exploring the nexus between public participation and the design of livable communities.

The course offers a complete overview of the NCI Dynamic Planning process, which provides holistic solutions to design and public involvement obstacles encountered in most conventional planning processes. Participants should include anyone who wants to learn about this powerful collaborative planning process, including elected officials, planning staff, developers, and concerned citizens.

This course is offered by the Knight Program in Community Building
in conjunction with the National Charrette Institute (NCI). It is organized as two modules: an introductory half-day course with open enrollment followed by an intensive two-day course limited to 35 participants, leading to certification by the NCI as a charrette planner.
