The DPZ Charrette - East Fraserlands/River District, Vancouver
Channel: Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company

This video takes you on a tour of the charrette process, led by DPZ founding partner, Andres Duany, as it happened in East Fraserlands/River District in Vancouver. 

The Charrette approach is the method of planning which DPZ has adopted and developed in our traditional planning practice.  

A charrette is a 8- or 9-day series of meetings, presentations and sessions, during which our planning and design team generates a comprehensive planning and development strategy while soliciting the input of the general public and key decision makers. The planners/designers and stakeholders gather as a group and set up a temporary working office, typically in a single space on the site of the project, to study, develop, review and revise proposals in a concentrated period of time.
