Description
As a consultant for the Placemaking with Young Adults consultancy 1 and 2, I collaborate closely with the planning department of Lancaster City Council (LCC) to enhance civic engagement with residents and users. My responsibilities include providing expert advice on effective engagement methodologies and conducting thorough data analysis to support informed decision-making. By translating data insights into actionable recommendations, I contribute to shaping the Local Plan Review, ensuring it aligns with community needs and fosters sustainable development. My role is pivotal in bridging the gap between planners and the community, promoting participatory planning processes that empower local voices. We hold weekly meetings to keep a fluid conversation.| Period | 1/02/2025 → 31/05/2026 |
