| We plan, implement and direct all forms of public consultation in the urban development field. We have a special expertise in design charrettes and dynamic planning.
Bob Ransford, Senior Consultant at COUNTERPOINT, has a Certificate in Urban Design from Simon Fraser University and he completed the Charrette Planner’s Program at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. He has an in-depth knowledge of dynamic planning, implementing its various elements in a wide range of urban development projects.
Ransford brings all elements of dynamic planning together in the sophisticated process of a charrette. All participants in a charrette:
- Work collaboratively.
- Design cross-functionally - “talking with a pencil”.
- Compress their work sessions.
- Communicate in short feedback loops.
- Look at the big picture and the little details at the same time.
- Measure projected outcomes.
- Produce a plan that is feasible.
A charrette is a holistic, collaborative, transformative planning process
that fosters an environment of trust, reduces re-work and facilitates implementation to create a designed-based win/win solution for the most controversial and complicated urban design and planning problems.
