We are always open to international collaboration and welcome opportunities to exchange knowledge, participate in joint projects and conferences, host study visits, and connect with cities and organizations working in participation and urban development. Through cooperation, we can learn from one another and help create better cities for everyone.
The Planning Coordinators Program aims to make public participation a standard planning practice across Prague and give residents equal opportunities to get involved. Planning coordinators work in several city districts, helping local communities take part in decisions about their surroundings. They support local planning projects and serve as the main contact point for participation in their district. Our goal is to gradually expand the network to all Prague districts, so that participation can take place as close to residents as possible.
Our latest manual offers a step-by-step guide for participatory projects. It is organized into 11 distinct activities, guiding you through everything from stakeholder mapping to creating an actionable plan for implementation. Each step is complemented by practical examples of documents and materials we use in our own projects.
