Module 4: Community Design and Public Participation


Schedule: (to be announced)
Faculty: Ar. Sylvia D. Clemente

This module deals with integrating the community in urban design and planning of public
spaces as such community participation in the design and planning of urban public spaces.
This integration can draw residents to establish a sense of attachment that may lead to the
community’s commitment in maintaining the spaces. This is anchored on literature that citizen’s
engagement needs to be underpinned by a philosophy that emphasizes empowerment, equity,
trust, learning and collaboration. The quality of decisions made through community participation
is strongly reliable because of the nature of the process leading to the inclusion of stakeholders.
