Appreciative planning

Appreciative planning is a community focused citizen participation method, used to collect information from specific key stakeholders, to work out vision perspectives, missions and strategic objectives. Participants are encouraged and assisted in judging and rating previous planning achievements and in focussing further actions necessary to be taken. Appreciative planning originated in the Himalayan region[1], and, as defined by Ameyaw (2000)[2],is:

  • an inclusive, participatory planning process in/for multicultural metropolitan environment(s;
  • an approach to urban planning based on mutual respect, trust and care-based action in a multicultural context;
  • a two-way learning and problem solving approach;
  • enables planners to transfer multicultural assets into planning and city life;
  • enables citizens and professionals to share the work;
  • unites rational and nonrational processses of social interaction and social learning;
  • focuses problem solving and decision-making;
  • benefits the communities;
  • has an emphasis on lasting engagement and dialogue.



How does it support in planning of secure public spaces?

The appreciative concept can be understood as a practical approach to address culture aspects and ethics aspects in security related urban planning. Appreciative planning helps

  • to collect security information from specific key stakeholders;
  • to work out security perspectives, missions and strategic objectives;
  • encourages and assists participants in judging and rating previous planning/security achievements and in focussing further actions necessary to be taken.

In England, for example, such inclusive concepts have become central considerations in planning development and counter-terrorism protection, such as designing out crime and terrorism, designing in community safety.[3])
