Charrette Products . Charrettes can be used for anything from reaching consensus on long-term visions for town development, to finding workable agreements on single projects. Charrettes also identify opportunities and needs. They turn town planning from a reactive to a pro-active process. Charrettes build both immediate and long-term solutions.
Participants usually require an immediate result.
Short-term steps are outlined as part of the work product. Implementation strategies are also suggested. Policies and principles are established for future decision making and town development. For charrettes to be successful, everyone taking part must be active and listen to the concerns and issues of others. The community, as a whole, comes first.
