Interactive planning
DLG uses Interactive Planning in many of its land consolidation projects. In interactive planning various groups work together: professionals, politicians, representatives of interests groups, residents and users. They are actively involved early in the planning process. The advantages of interactive planning are legion: an intrinsically richer plan and a better planning process; with more public understanding and support, and consequently a faster process.
International
In many countries planning is a top-down process. Setting up interactive planning processes in other countries often takes a great deal of energy. Governments have to be convinced of the added value, and it is not easy to find the right players. Ultimately governments, NGOs and DLG are often positive about the results. In the international field interactive planning is mainly used in land consolidation and Natura 2000 projects. Such projects have been carried out in Poland, Romania, China and Honduras, among others.
