The report 'Shaping better places together' marks a first attempt to investigate the role and significance of facilitators in participatory community design processes and aims to enhance the output performance of this increasingly common type of design event.

It is hoped that this ground-breaking research work will give confidence to local authorities, local communities and the development industry as they invest in the skills and expertise of professional facilitators in the collaborative design process.
