CHAPTER INEQUALITIES FOUND IN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING

DUMMY CITY

NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING IN LONDON

Authors:

Guang Yang, Siqi Sun, Jiangcheng Sun, Hantang Li

This Booklet will focus on the context of London, using “Neighborhood Planning is a Dummy” as an argument, using the overall development of neighborhood planning in England, the particularity of London, interviews and report data as evidence to analyze and discuss the deep inequities faced by neighborhood planning.

Our goal is to be able to present and refl ect on the story behind neighborhood planning, while summarizing, collecting and generating tools and strategies that can effectively help with different goals and problems. We present a community engagement proposal which focuses primarily on the need to inform people about the rules and regulations of the UK planning framework, with secondary attention to site-specifi city and local context.

We developed tools, e.g. our game “Dummy City” and “Neighborhood Planning Encyclopedia”, that can help people to navigate the complexity of the legislation. These tools try to bridge the gap from layman language to complex legislative jargon in a series of layers, each one the more accessible and engaging.
