IPR Praha: Activity 07 - Development of the Design Concept Proposal

Homepage > Activity 07 - Development of the Design Concept Proposal

The design expert, responsible for the final output of the planning process (the design concept - e.g. Strategic plan, Revitalization concept for a square), will formulate an initial draft - proposal based on expert studies (Activity 3) and analysis of needs (Activity 6).

7.1 Description and objective of the activity

During the following phase - Activity 8 (Design Concept Proposal Consultation), the design expert will showcase the proposal to obtain feedback from stakeholders. However, in the course of Activity 7, they may already involve stakeholders in the development of the design concept, especially in areas where uncertainties exist regarding their reactions or attitudes. For instance, involving the conservation officer, the Police, partners from the City of Prague or ministries responsible for subsidies, in formulating the proposal.
