Appreciative planning
Introduction
Appreciative planning is, as defined by Ameyaw (2000), an "approach to urban planning in a multicultural context. Appreciative planning is a model based on mutual respect, trust, and care-based action. It is a two-way learning and problem-solving approach to planning. Appreciative planning is a multi-faceted process that unites rational and nonrational processes of social interaction and social learning to enable citizens and professionals to share the work of problem solving and decision-making for the benefit of their communities. By so doing, it enables planners to celebrate the valuable assets multicultural groups bring to city life and planning deliberations."[1]
The appreciative planning concept originated in the Himalayan region[2] and has expanded on the structural concept of consideration of cultural aspects in urban planning, carrying it towards social science-based concepts that are more empirically rooted and knowledge-related. Their focus is on an inclusive, participatory planning process in/for multicultural metropolitan environment(s). It has an emphasis on lasting engagement and dialogue. In England, for example, inclusive concepts, such as "Designing in community safety " (cf. HM Government 2012).[3]), have become central considerations in planning development and counter-terrorism protection.
Practical approach
The appreciative concept can also be understood as a practical approach to confront "the real conflicts, issues, dissent, and trade-offs in city planning."[4] The purpose is to "create contexts in which planners and multicultural groups can continuously learn and experiment, think systematically, engage in meaningful dialogue, and create visions that energize action and inclusion in city planning."[5] Appreciative planning thus fosters a "multicultural sensibility for planning", which includes considering how cultures, "which prescribe members’ relations with the community, orient their actions, and, among other things, suggest how they might use formal planning processes."[6].
The APA method[7] is co ammunity 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.
