Hi Koos: I have used OST for this on a couple of occasions that might be relevant:
1. Planning services for addressing the plight of urban Aboriginal people in Vancouver. This was an OST that brought together politicians from three levels of government, public servants, service providers and community members to address issues for action on this agenda, 2. I am about to facilitate a one day OST meeting in a rural region of our province which is being billed as a "regional visioning" exercise. THe idea is to bring together First Nations, local governments, land owners, logging companies, ranchers, other stakeholders and community members to set an agenda for a regional visioning process for this region. The process is ostensibly tied to the treaty making process here in British Columbia which is aimed at settling century old land questions that have never been resolved. However, the process is also intended, or permitted, to go beyond just the treaty process into a regional visioning effort for the whole area. On the planning committee for this we have local First Nations, representatives from local city and regional governments, a rancher and a woman representing resource industries like logging and mining. I'll let you know how that one goes. I'm sure there are more examples of urban planning that others will share, but I offer these two from my experience. -- CHRIS CORRIGAN Consultation - Facilitation Open Space Technology http://www.chriscorrigan.com ch...@chriscorrigan.com RR 1 E-3 1172 Miller Road Bowen Island, BC Canada, V0N 1G0 phone (604) 947-9236 * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu, Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
