Local community resources

The local community plays a important role in the push for sustainable urban development. The URP is committed to working with communities through participatory action research to generate more sustainable outcomes in the urban environment.

Urban Research Program community toolbox

The URP community toolbox is a free resource containing principles and strategies to enhance meaningful stakeholder involvement in decision-making. The toolbox contains over 60 tools, together with instructions and exemplar case studies that highlight the uses of each tool.

The tools within the toolbox play an important role in generating meaningful output from the decision-making process, ensuring all stakeholders are involved through a commitment to social learning.
