Your Town: Planning in Creative Communities
The Your Town: Planning in Creative Communities workshop was designed to raise the consciousness of the importance of planning in a creative community. This was done by encouraging participants to identify, enhance and protect the elements of their community that contribute to having a sense of place. The presentations were designed to teach the fundamentals of the planning process and how to apply these principles to the design of rural communities.
