Title Cross-Cultural Collaborations and Inclusive Participation: the Pacific Rim Community Design Network Day / Time Wednesday, June 21st / 16:30 - 18:30 Room MR07 Event Description Community participation in local planning has become a common practice in democratized societies around the Pacific Rim. To various extents, it has contributed to a more inclusive approach in local planning and urban governance. This event will connect professionals and scholars in participatory community planning. Through presentation of cases, roundtable and group discussion we will share insights and compare experiences of how participatory planning is conducted at the community level and in different social and institutional contexts. The event seeks to expand an existing network of practitioners and researchers focusing on participatory community planning in the Pacific Rim, and involve individuals and organizations from the developing countries in the region and beyond. Through this event and follow-up discussions, we plan to formulate agenda for future collaboration across countries and regions.

From advocacy planning and citizen participation developed in the United States, models of participatory community design now can also be found in Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. The Pacific Rim Community Design Network was launched following a working conference at University of California, Berkeley in 1998. This conference brought together leading community design scholars and practitioners from Japan, Taiwan and United States. The purpose of the conference was to provide the practitioners and scholars working in the field of participatory design and planning across the Pacific Rim region with an opportunity to share and compare each other's experiences and advance their practice and research. Through conferences and joint projects, the network has provided a vehicle for collaboration and mutual support, as well as a forum for comparative understanding of community design in the fast changing political and social context of the Pacific Rim.
