Planning for the Future
Citation
In this category, contestants were
requested to show a careful, considered planning process
towards appropriate goals for their community’s future.
The judges focussed, first, on the
strategic planning method, local concerns and the financial
background; they focussed, secondly, on proof of a holistic,
multi-dimensional approach in an integrated and sustainable
manner on policies and counter measures through democratic
decision making; and, thirdly, on functional open and green
spaces which were considered to be fundamental assets in
attaining the goals of a liveable community.
We judged that one community was
particularly excellent in this because they successfully
showed the most satisfactory planning practices and a
strategic statement for integrated local water management,
township development and a careful conservation plan for
open spaces to maintain valuable fauna and flora.
The Winner of the Planning for the Future
Criteria at the 2006 LivCom Awards is:
