TOOLKITS, TECHNIQUES, HIGH-TECH AND NON-TRADITIONAL/DIVERSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPS TO MAKE PLANNING ABOUT PEOPLE
While good old-fashioned human buy-in is key, technology can help, said Jason Jordan, director of Policy & Government Affairs at the American Planning Association (APA).
“In California, the state sets standards and says ‘your
town needs to build X number of new units.’
VR headsets can help people ‘walk’ through a simulation,”
he said, explaining that a visualization may show that increased density
doesn’t disrupt the fabric of the neighborhood.
“People can see the big picture, then learn how it
translates into code and regulations.”
