		<description><![CDATA[Glasgow City Council has just launched a public consultation on its City Vision for 2061 &#8211; its vision to shape the city&#8217;s future. This should be big news. It will shape what kind of city Glasgow will be in the future. The City Council may have published the vision, but &#8211; refreshingly &#8211; they are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I was invited to give presentations at a couple of Ministerial events in Edinburgh about community engagement in planning. One was a seminar about how to engage communities in controversial planning issues; the other was a meeting of the Scottish Parliament&#8217;s Cross Party Group on Architecture and the Built Environment which [...]]]></description>

Somewhere to dive into the loo on the way to the West Coast, and then get back on the road again? Despite having a population of only 200, Crianlarich [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in favour of the Big Society. I like the ideas of civil society and local responsibility that underpin it, which are on the policy agenda in Scotland as well as in Westminster. But I also believe that it&#8217;s a long way from taking root. And, as a planner, I wonder how will it change [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As you may already know, I’m interested in how community empowerment can contribute to good placemaking. Not simply consulting or engaging communities about the design and management of places, but consciously empowering them to have control over places. This is hardly a new idea – Rousseau wrote in The Social Contract 250 years ago that [...]]]></description>

		<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. Most discussion tends to focus on how to involve &#8220;the community&#8221; in developing proposals for specific places, or in drawing up particular strategies or plans. But should we [...]]]></description>
