		<description><![CDATA[For years, I&#8217;ve struggled with the concept of visioning. It&#8217;s always seemed to me like a bunch of well-meaning folk agree a motherhood-and-apple-pie vision for whatever it is they&#8217;re discussing &#8211; the condition of the roads, their town centre, law and order, whatever &#8211; and encapsulate it in a couple of positive sentences that says [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Engaging with communities is a big focus in contemporary urban planning &#8211; and a focus for a great deal of uncertainty about how to get it right.
