How can I start a community initiative for planning?

I'm interested in starting a community initiative for urban planning. Where do I begin?

That's a great idea! Start by identifying the specific issues in your community that need addressing. What are your main concerns?

I think traffic congestion and lack of green spaces are major issues.

Those are important topics! You could organize a community meeting to gather input from residents. Would you like tips on how to facilitate that?

Yes, please! How do I make sure everyone feels heard during the meeting?

Encourage open dialogue by setting ground rules, using a talking stick, and ensuring everyone has a chance to speak. Would you like to know more about follow-up actions after the meeting?
