Benefits of Dynamic Planning and the Charrette
Conventional approaches to the public approval process are failing. Even
high quality architectural and planning projects with demonstrable public
benefit may lose support without a collaborative approach like the
Charrette. The public design Charrette has emerged as an alternative to th
"design and present" convention. Charrettes provide a framework for
creating a shared vision with community involvement, directed by
consultants representing all key disciplines. For a complete description of
Dynamic Planning see our Dynamic Planning page.
Key benefits of using the Dynamic Planning process:
Trust - Dynamic Planning promotes trust between citizens and governmer
through meaningful public involvement and education.
Vision - Dynamic Planning fosters a shared community vision and turns
opposition into support.
Feasibility - Dynamic Planning increases the likelihood of getting projects
built by gaining broad support from citizens, professionals, and staff. And,
it creates a better plan through diverse input and involvement
Economy - Dynamic Planning avoids costly rework and utilizes highly
productive work sessions.
Additional Charrette Specific Benefits
o It's fun and attracts the interest of a broad range of people
o The Charrette itself is a marketing event for the project
a The multi-day and night studio provides many opportunities for people tc
participate
n The Charrette provides a good story for the press
What actually happens at a Charrette?
It is important to note that a successful Charrette cannot be a stand-alone
process. It is one phase of the Dynamic Planning process, which requires
extensive preparation and follow-through for plan approval and
implementation. For more on the three part process of Dynamic Planning,
visit our Dynamic Planning page.

The workflow of the NCI Charrette involves a series of collaborative design
and public input cycles for multiple, consecutive days. Everyone - from ke'
decision-maker to citizen - becomes aware of the complexities of
development and design issues, and everyone works together to arrive at
the best possible solution.
A central element of the charrette is the "design team," a multidisciplinary
group of professionals that provide the necessary expertise to create a
feasible plan that considers all relevant input. This team is the constant of
the Charrette, working day and night on site in the Charrette Studio to
develop a holistic feasible plan. This doesn't mean that the entire
community must take a week off from work to hold a charrette. The
charrette stakeholders, anyone who is impacted by the project or has
interest, are involved at a minimum in scheduled meetings, including at
least two public meetings. Stakeholders are also welcome to visit the
Charrette Studio throughout the Charrette during open hours. In this way,
it does not consume large blocks of time for residents or officials.
Once the design team completes its set-up procedures, including a team
kick-off meeting and site tour, a public hands-on workshop is conducted fo
the purposes of creating a clear understanding on the part of all
participants about the purpose and process of the charrette and to solicit
the public's project vision. The next day the design team creates a series o
alternative plans based on all information gathered to date, including the
public vision, and then solicits input at another public meeting. This input i!
used to refine the alternatives and create more detailed plans that are
again reviewed and critiqued by the public during an open house. The
design team further refines and narrows the feedback into a final plan and
set of implementation documents to be presented for public confirmation
on the final night of the Charrette.
It is important to note that the project is not complete when the charrette
is. Document refinement and further feedback occur through stakeholder
discussions and a follow-up meeting approximately a month after the
charrette. This allows everyone to check in on the refined charrette plan
and to allow for one final feedback loop.
