Description

In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, planning professionals must be able to work and communicate effectively. Planners need to understand the importance of public and stakeholder engagement in the city-making process and be able to design appropriate and effective strategies and techniques for these activities. During their Practice Year, all students will have the opportunity to develop and enhance their communication and engagement skills, whether working in government, private industry or for not-for-profit organisations. Engaging with academic debate regarding collaborative planning and place-making, students will draw upon their own work experience to appreciate and reflect upon the centrality of effective communication in deliberative engagement processes. Students will work both on self-directed projects as well as group exercises during intensive study periods during the year.
