Advocacy planning

Introduction

Advocacy planning is one amongst other methods to determine legal aspects in planning of public spaces (see Aspect_determination_methods_for_urban_planners).

Advocacy planner’s main activities are informing ordinary citizens about planning issues, working out suggestions together with ordinary citizens, representing the latter before official bodies such as the city administration, promoting and chairing discussion processes, etc.
Stakeholders and stakeholder involvement

Process

Advocacy planning is mostly employed at local or regional level. Advocacy planning should not lead to ordinary citizens being pushed into passive roles or treated like children; instead, it should help them to stand up for their own interests and should make it easier to compensate for possible discrimination.

Help in addressing cultural/ethical aspects in planning of secure public spaces

  • Underpin the interests of segments of the population in planning processes where the former have difficulty in expressing themselves, are socially disadvantaged or are simply not organized
  • Ensure that all segments of the population affected by a planning process are taken into account even-handedly;
  • Mediate between the everyday world of ordinary citizens and the perspective of experts.
