Abstract

This paper reports an experience of planning participation, lead during 2010, with the objective to adopt traditional and innovative forms of participation, in the context of planning process simulation. The experience aimed at enhancing confidence in spatial planning processes, in a context where participation is not yet a custom. Some months later, a new attempt has been lead, to enlarge the set of adopted tools and test some electronic tools for e-valuation, asking citizens to involve other citizens, in order to enlarge the community.
