NeighbourPLAN Co-Design Planning Project

Both researchers will conduct independent projects using multiple data collection methods to evaluate GreenUP’s NeighbourPLAN project based on participants’ sense of well-being and belonging and what the perceptions are among participants towards sense of place and the built environment including green spaces. Rosa’s research will be evaluating sense of belonging and place and whether the participatory planning activities have activated new meaning in places. Laura’s research will assess the nexus between participants’ interaction with green spaces and the level of engagement in the NeighbourPLAN, measured through each participant’s recorded perceived wellness. The expected benefits to GreenUP from both projects include an evaluation of the GreenUP program efficacy in achieving sustainable community engagement in participatory urban planning processes in Peterborough.
