Community Planning Companion

This guide has been developed for people who want to know more about local planning issues. It has emerged from planning workshops and other activities with local residents to make positive change in the local area.

It uses Shieldfield, Newcastle, as an example to show different problems and opportunities in urban planning.

The Guide is designed to introduce you to planning and development and show how you can get involved, as well as highlighting some creative, democratic ways to make changes to places.
