Brief history

Some key moments in the evolution of Community Planning Events.

1967American Institute of Architects (AIA) responds to citizen in Rapid City, South Dakota, USA and sends a team of architects to look at problems facing the community. Programme of Regional/Urban Design Assistance Teams (R/UDATs) launched by AIA with an average of five events organised each year. Process improved with each experience.
1978Similar programmes start to be evolved locally in the USA at state level by universities and colleges and by local partnerships including local AIA Chapters. These become generally known as Design Assistance Teams (DATs) although programmes have different names.
1980AIA starts Generic R/UDAT programme to deal with problems common to many communities. Three events are organised over the next five years.
1981Planning Assistance Teams programme started by US Air Force using R/UDAT process during weekdays to examine planning issues relating to its bases. 125 events held over next 10 years.
1985First UK pilot event organised in St Mary’s, Southampton by the Royal Institute of British Architects. It is called a Community Urban Design Assistance Team (CUDAT). Attempts to start a similar programme and support service to the AIA fail to get off the ground.
1988Birmingham’s ‘Highbury Initiative’ introduces ‘think tank’ style events to the mainstream UK regeneration scene. Handful of UK practitioners and community leaders take part in a joint US/UK team for a Generic R/UDAT in Pittsburgh, USA. It is the largest event ever held and is visited by HRH The Prince of Wales. This leads to a handful of events in the UK organised independently by those who took part.
1989First UK ‘community planning weekend’ held at Bishopsgate in London’s East End. Duchy of Cornwall hosts ‘planning weekend’ at Poundbury, Dorchester.
1990American Institute of Architects produces handbook encouraging others to provide organisational support frameworks at state and local level. Over 100 R/UDATs and several hundred DATs have now been held throughout USA. Urban Design Group organises its first event at Wood Green, London.
1991UK consultants team up with German group and organise a ‘planning week’ in Moscow. Urban Design Group organises week-long ‘UDAT’ in Pereslavl Zalessky near Moscow.
1993Business in the Community organises its first event at Burgess Park, London. Urban Villages Forum organises its first event at West Silvertown, London.
1994Urban Design Group announces intention to mount UK support framework.
1995‘Action Planning Task Group’ formed by handful of national organisations to coordinate promotion and support services. UK consultants organise events in the Shankill Road, Belfast and at Hellersdorf, East Berlin.
1996Action Planning handbook published by The Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture. Launch event at St James’ Palace, London.
1997First Middle East event held in Beirut and Sidon.
1999First Enquiry by Design events organised by The Prince’s Foundation at Northampton and Basildon.
2003First major Stakeholder Participation Day organised for Cambridge Southern Fringe area development framework.
2005UK Government reinforces need for Community Planning Events in its Planning Policy Statement on Delivering Sustainable Development (PPS1).
2006First trial Reinvigorate event organised by British Urban Regeneration Association in Bristol.
2008Publication of The Community Planning Event Manual; a revised and updated version of Action Planning.

Early American experience
Over 125 four-day Community Planning events (R/UDATs) were held throughout the United States under the auspices of the American Institute of Architects between 1967 and 1995. Roughly half dealt with an entire city, a quarter dealt with the central area of a city and the remainder dealt with entire counties, neighbourhoods or open spaces. In addition there were several hundred events organised independently at local level (not marked)

Case study snapshots

Summaries of some Community Planning Events indicating the impact of different approaches In date order. For detailed examples, see the Case Studies section and Projects A-Z on www.communityplanning.net

TITLE, LOCATION, DATE AND NATURE OF EVENTOUTCOME
North Downtown area, Portland, Oregon, USA, 1983Standard 4-day R/UDAT organised by the American Institute of Architects to explore future possibilities for a neglected part of the central business district.A new local business association was formed immediately and a follow-up policy report, based on the event’s proposals for land use and transport, was adopted by the City authorities two years later. A local property owners’ association was formed in 1986 which produced an improvement programme for historic areas. In 1988, a Downtown development programme released by the City stated that the event had ‘stimulated considerable interest in the North Downtown Area which led to the establishment of several area organisations, and inspired further in-depth studies by the Planning Bureau.’
An evaluation in 1992 – nine years after the R/UDAT event – states that the event’s report was ‘still being used by city hall’. ‘Individual developers now use the UDAT study regularly to interest investors in the area’s potential … whilst the recommendations on transportation and infrastructure improvements are being actively pursued through collaborations between the city authority and community and business interests’.1
The Highbury Initiative, Birmingham, UK, 19883-day event to provide a new vision for the entire city. Hosted by the City Council and funded by the Department of the Environment’s City Action Team.The proposals produced by the event were adopted by the City Council as a provisional strategy for the city centre. The event also led to the City Engineer downgrading the inner city ring road and giving pedestrians priority.
A subsequent event one year later led to the formation of a special council committee to deal with the city centre, the setting up of associations for different neighbourhoods and the appointment of consultants to prepare urban design guidelines for them.
An evaluation in 1995 concludes: ‘The event succeeded in generating a new vision, shifting the agenda and priorities and enlisting new energy. The work of the City Council in transforming the centre, with for example extensive public art, has helped to stem decline and boost investment prospects, and has been widely acclaimed by those who have seen the results.’2
Traffic Management Study Day, Hastings Old Town, 19891-day event to resolve traffic problems. Organised for a partnership of local groups by a local urban regeneration project.The event resulted in proposals for a range of traffic calming measures which had not previously been thought of and which were unanimously agreed by all parties. Shortly afterwards the Borough’s traffic officer was sent on a traffic calming training course. Local residents established a special working party and campaigned successfully for, and helped design, traffic calming measures in one street. Another strategic traffic calming measure was undertaken by the Borough and the County Council.
Castle Vale Community Planning Weekend, Birmingham, 19935-day event as part of an 8-week consultation exercise on the future of a 1960s estate of 5,000 homes on the city outskirts. Commissioned by the Department of the Environment prior to tenants voting whether to form a Housing Action Trust.The event helped residents establish a strategic vision for improvements to the estate and was followed by the highest ever recorded vote in favour of forming a housing action trust to take over management from the local authority.
A second, 2-day, community planning weekend was held to develop a physical masterplan; testing out proposals from the first event and those developed by the architects to ensure that the masterplan was fully in tune with what both local residents and local officials wanted. The masterplan has since been adopted in its entirety by the Housing Action Trust.
West Silvertown Community Planning Weekend, London Docklands, 19935-day event organised by the Urban Villages Forum to test the idea of establishing an urban village on redundant dockland.The event Team supported the proposal and the event helped to galvanise interest. Specific design ideas were generated, some of which later found their way into the developers’ brief for the site. Funds were raised to help establish a local development trust. The event was also a useful action learning process for the Urban Villages Forum which went on to use the experience in projects elsewhere.
Greater Shankill Planning Weekend, Belfast, 19955-day event to plan a vision for the future of an inner city area particularly affected by the conflict in Northern Ireland.The event attracted 600 people including representatives from 62 community groups, 45 public, statutory and private agencies and 5 political parties. It galvanised the Greater Shankill Partnership, representing a wide range of local interests, to prepare a funding bid for a £27 million regeneration project which, at the time of going to press, has been shortlisted by the Millennium Commission.
Caterham Barracks Community Planning Weekend, Surrey, 19984-day event followed by continuous community engagement throughout the planning stages. See www.communityplanning.net Case Study for more details.An impressive example of a private developer using consensus-led masterplanning to create a new sustainable community. Over 1,000 local people were involved in an initial vision-building community planning weekend held on the site, a former army barracks with several historic (Grade II listed) buildings. The completed scheme is an economically integrated, mixed use neighbourhood that includes housing (366 homes for sale and for rent), supermarket, offices, veterinary hospital, surgery, indoor skateboard and BMX centre, and open space. A new community development trust manages leisure and business facilities and creates jobs for local people.
Upton Urban Extension Enquiry by Design, Northampton, 1999Masterplan for a sustainable urban extension with over 1,000 new homes. See www.communityplanning.net Case Study for more details. More Enquiry by Design cases on www.princes-foundation.orgA highly successful new urban development. In its structure Upton breaks from previous planning presumptions towards zoned, mono-use similar to previous developments in the area (dominated by housing estates and business parks) and instead has a permeable network of streets and public space, engendering community and offering – in its range of residential, retail, education and employment uses – a real opportunity to mitigate car dependency for residents. It has been recognised as an exemplar of sustainable building in three separate award schemes.
Aylesham Masterplan Enquiry by Design, Kent, 2003Enquiry by Design process used to develop a masterplan to expand a declining village. See www.communityplanning.net Case Study for more details.The Enquiry by Design process helped the multidisciplinary professional team to produce a draft masterplan which received widespread public and stakeholder support during a subsequent consultation phase. The vast majority of Aylesham residents (83%) supported the plans for village development overall. The Masterplan was formally adopted by the authorities relatively quickly and was used to guide development by private developers.
Cambridge Southern Fringe Stakeholder Participation Day, 20031-day event to allow interested parties input into plans for the area’s future. Part of drawing up a Draft Area Development Framework for the Local Plan. See www.scambs.gov.uk and www.cambridge.gov.uk for latest info. Event report from www.nickwates.co.uk (Reports & Brochures).The day caused a huge amount of information to be assembled on plans by various landowners and authorities which had not previously been available. All this and the results of the event were made available in an event report which was circulated to all participants and made available on the internet. Significant alterations resulted in proposals by developers as a result of workshops at the event. The authorities were so pleased with the result that they organised an almost identical event two years later for the Eastern side of the city. The results of both events fed into the Local Plan (Local Development Framework).
Sherford NewCommunity Enquiry by Design, 2004Masterplanning for a sustainable new urban community with over 5,500 new homes. See www.redtreellp.com or www.princes-foundation.org for more information.Masterplan with planning permission for a new community containing up to 5,500 new homes, up to 7,000 new jobs and a 207 hectare Community Park. One of the largest habitat creation schemes in the South West of England. The layout is moulded to the varying topography of the site, retaining as many of the key landscape features as possible, and structured as a series of walkable neighbourhoods – where most residents are within a 5-minute walk from their daily shopping needs. Higher intensity retail and employment will be located in a new high street. The Masterplan aims to set new standards for sustainability in terms of resource efficiency, increased use of renewables, public transport provision and sustainable urban form and it is accompanied by a Town Code which seeks to ensure quality delivery of urbanism and architecture grounded in local tradition and ecological principles.
Heart of East Greenwich collaborative design workshop 20051-day event to explore design proposals for a strategic city site, preceded by an open house event and followed by a public report back session. See www.communityplanning.net Case Study for more information.Comprehensive and creative consultation approach to preparing a development brief and selecting a developer for an urban site of strategic local importance. Illustrates how early and ongoing engagement can draw positively on community knowledge to inform and influence the design and how community engagement can be a central and integral part of the whole design and procurement process.
Bristol Reinvigorate, 20071-day event to explore the best ways of regenerating two inner city neighbourhoods. See www.communityplanning.net Case Study for more details.Pilot of the interesting Reinvigorate technique of bringing ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ expertise together for a day to generate ideas and momentum. The problems and opportunities of two neighbourhoods in the city were mapped out and broad consensus reached on a number of initiatives needed. Mostly these reinforced the approach already being adopted by local stakeholders. Both insiders and outsiders found the event a useful and stimulating experience.

Glossary

An explanation of the sometimes confusing terminology used in the field of Community Planning Events. See Glossary A–Z on www.communityplanning.netfor a more comprehensive list of terms used in community planning, regeneration and environmental sustainability.

Action Planning
Similar meaning to Community Planning Event. Term used as title for first edition of this book.

Capacity Building Workshop
Event organised primarily to establish partnerships between the public, private and voluntary sectors on development issues.

Charrette
See Design Charrette.

Collaborative Design Workshop
Similar to design workshop or design charrette. Term used in this book for a 1-day workshop sandwiched between an open house event and public report back session (see page 52).

Community Planning
Planning carried out with the active participation of the end users. Similarly community architecture, community design and so on.

Community Planning Event
Carefully structured collaborative event at which all stakeholders, including the local community, work closely with specialists from all relevant disciplines to make plans for the future of that community or some aspects of it.

Community Planning Weekend
Term most commonly used in the UK for a Community Planning Event spanning a weekend. First used in 1989 at Bishopsgate, London. The term Planning Weekend is also used. Terms Planning Week and Community Planning Week have also been used for slightly longer events. Also Community Planning Day.

Community Visioning
Term used to describe methods for getting communities to think and plan ahead.

Consultation Day
See Stakeholder Participation Day.

Critical Mass Event
Umbrella term for organisation development techniques involving large-scale events often lasting several days and often involving hundreds of people. Mostly used for organisational change but may also be appropriate for community planning. Labels given to specific types of event – structured in different ways and promoted by different people – include Future Search Conference, Large-Scale Interactive Process, Conference Model, Real-Time Strategic Change, Participative Work Redesign and Open-Space Meetings.

Design Assistance Team (DAT)
Term used by the American Institute of Architects to describe state-level Community Planning Events. These evolved from the Institute’s 20-year national level Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team (R/UDAT) programme (see below). Similar terms in use include Urban Design Assistance Team (UDAT) and Housing Assistance Team (HAT) (where only housing involved). Local DAT programmes have a wide variety of names; for example Ontario’s Community Assist/Urban Study Effort (CAUSE) and Mississippi’s Small Town Action Team (STAT). First UK event was called a Community/Urban Design Assistance Team (CUDAT).

Design Charrette
Intensive design session, often including ‘all-nighter’, originally just for architecture students but more recently including the public and professionals. Term originated at the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts at the turn of the century. Projects were collected at designated times on a cart (‘charrette’) where students would be found putting finishing touches to their schemes. Term now widely used in the USA to describe any intensive, group brainstorming effort. Charrette now often used without the ‘Design’ in front.

Design Day
Day when architects and local people brainstorm for design solutions to particular building problems, usually in teams. Term also used to describe day when local residents can drop in and talk through design ideas with professionals.

Design Workshop
Hands-on session allowing groups to work creatively developing planning and design options. Sometimes called Hands-on Planning.

Enquiry by Design
Intensive workshop process involving urban designers and local stakeholders. Devised for developing plans for new build and regeneration by The Prince’s Foundation (see page 95).

Focus Group
Small group of people who work through an issue in workshop sessions. Membership may be carefully selected or entirely random.

Future Workshop
Term used for a workshop devised to discuss options for the future. Various formats possible.

Open House
Event designed to allow those promoting development initiatives to present them to a wider public and secure reactions in an informal manner. Halfway between an exhibition and a workshop.

Planning for Real
Technique for community involvement in planning and development focussing on the construction and use of flexible cardboard models and priority cards. Promoted and branded by the Neighbourhood Initiatives Foundation (page 95).

Planning Assistance Team (PAT)
Similar to Design Assistance Team. Event programme started by US Air Force using R/UDAT process on weekdays for planning issues relating to its bases.

Planning Weekend
See Community Planning Weekend.

Reinvigorate
Event usually lasting one day where ‘outsiders’ and ‘insiders’ undertake a workshop process to identify solutions to an area’s problems. Process developed by the British Urban Regeneration Agency (BURA) (see page 94).

Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team(R/UDAT)
Name originally given to the Community Planning Event programme started by the American Institute of Architects in 1967. A generic R/UDAT uses the same process to look at problems common to many communities. A mini R/UDAT uses a similar process with a student team.

Stakeholder
Person or organisation with an interest because they will be affected or may have some influence.

Stakeholder Participation Day
One-day Community Planning Event. Sometimes called a Consultation Day.

Study Day
Day spent examining a particular issue. Useful for simple issues.

Task Force
Multidisciplinary team of students and professionals who produce in-depth proposals for a site or neighbourhood based on an intensive programme of site studies, lectures, participatory exercises and studio working, normally lasting several weeks. See Methods A–Z on www.communityplanning.net

Think Tank
Brainstorming group. Mainly used by governments and city authorities. Often for ‘experts’ only. May use a Community Planning Event format. Sometimes called an Expert Panel or Symposium.

Urban Design Action Team
Term adopted by the Urban Design Group for its first UK Community Planning Event in 1990 and used again since. (Note the American ‘Assistance’ has changed to ‘Action’ – see Design Assistance Team.)

Workshop
Meeting at which a small group, perhaps aided by a facilitator, explores issues, develops ideas and makes decisions. A less formal and more creative counterpart to public meetings and committees. A Topic Workshop focusses on specific issues. A Design Workshop includes the use of participatory design techniques.

Flowchart perspectives

Collaborative production
Workshop at an ‘Editing Day’ held at The Prince of Wales’s Institute of Architecture in February 1995. Thirty-three practitioners, designers, editors and potential readers helped to shape the first edition of this book using felt-tip pens on wall mounted page blow-ups; a process adapted from community planning. A similar day was held for this edition.
