TOOLKITS, TECHNIQUES, HIGH-TECH AND NON-TRADITIONAL/DIVERSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPS TO MAKE PLANNING ABOUT PEOPLE
Jason Jordan, director of Policy & Government Affairs at the American Planning Association (APA) said the move from the traditional town-hall meeting toward virtual meetings and online surveys has pluses and minuses.
For people who cannot make a weeknight meeting, or those
afraid of speaking in person, virtual can be helpful.
“Digital tools are great, but we must be aware that some
technology can exacerbate underlying inequity,” he said, noting that not all
people are online and not all trust online surveys.
