Read March 29th Media Release
Join us on PlanIt X—the Planning Tool Exchange—a free, community driven platform designed to help a broad range of users (citizens, planners, scientists, elected officials, consultants and more) find, share and contribute information about decision-support tools, projects and resources in community planning and related fields.
The website serves as a community clearinghouse, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration by organizing information and resources supporting local and regional community planning and ecosystem-based management according to five linked themes:
- Tools - A blend of Comprehensive Processes, Activities, Software/Web Tools and Methods designed to help communities make smart growth decisions.
- Projects - Case Studies representing a wide range of geographic locations, community types, planning processes, tools and outcomes.
- Resources - Stand alone publications, toolkits, databases and other resources to assist in the community planning process.
- Organizations - Companies and organizations providing assistance with community planning, including consultation, resources and/or project management.
- Practitioners - Professionals offering a tool, service or resource to community planners, or who are willing to share experiences in community planning.
The site is already home to more than 300 resources to help residents discover common values, make better choices, and take action to build a brighter future. We encourage you to explore, learn about the wide array of resources related to Heart & Soul Community Planning, create your own projects and tools, and add your comments today!
