Planners in an Atlanta suburb are using games tailored to adults and children to inform a new comprehensive plan.
An article by David Ibata shares the current events from the comprehensive planning process underway in Johns Creek, Georgia.
During a round of public workshops, planners (including "design, economic development and transportation consultants") will be seeking feedback by using the "Minecraft: Johns Creek" game for kids and the "Johns Creek Planning 101" game for adults.
More information about the comprehensive planning effort, called Connect Johns Creek, is also available online.
