Public Engagement with LEGO ®

Planners are always looking for new ways to engage and connect with the public and other stakeholders. This session will profile the LEGO® techniques being used by Lakeland District planners. Using LEGO® can turn planning into a tangible exercise where participants can design or redesign a site, neighbourhood or district. It can also illustrate the importance of community participation in decision making. Participants will be given a summary of the LEGO® engagement techniques, and then participate in a planning exercise using LEGO®. 

 

Learning Objectives:

• Gaining knowledge about the public engagement with LEGO® techniques being used by Lakeland District planners.

• Understanding an innovative technique for undertaking a number of different consultation strategies.
