Application of Communicative Planning Approach in Urban Planning

Abstract:

Within a changing and increasingly complex society, see planning as a communicative process can make planners work with disparate and diverse communities in order to reach agreement between them and formulate a ‘plan’. This paper aims to understand the concept of communicative planning and identify the effective measures to achieve the communicative process. It begins with analysing the influences upon the communicative planning, and the principles to underpin communicative planning theory. Finally, it presents the practical significance of communicative action in urban planning.
