More than just simply regulating land-use, the text describes, community/city planning as a “process that gives communities a forum to build a common vision, a process of engagement and a way to build consensus about land-use policy issues”. (Beyea, W. 2009, page 55, para 1.)
When strong land-use planning rights were once granted to the smallest units of governments, the text re-invents this notion by involving community residents, leaders and formal/informal stakeholders in the process. This new notion is called Participatory Planning. In addition, participatory planning is supported with new information tools such as models/frameworks, methodologies and online training.
