Public Involvement with Andy Boenau Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

As planners, we are usually prepared with planning theory, Constitutional law, planning process, and knowledge about the fundamentals of the profession.... then someone throws a curve ball and starts talking about the need for public involvement and we scratch our heads. What is it, what should it be, and what is the actual purpose of involving the public? We explore this topic with a subject expert, Mr. Andy Boenau and tell some stories from our own background throughout.
