Handbook for participation strategies for mobility issues in neighbourhoods

Task 2.1 (Compilation of a handbook identifying and categorising existing participation tools and methods) is designed to assist the action neighbourhoods with a handbook (D2.1), that is, a comprehensive and conveniently categorised overview of such methods. Two elements form the basis for this work: 1. The results of the status-quo analysis from Task 1.1 on the previous experiences and practices in the field of participation and mobility development in each action neighbourhood; 2. Additional comprehensive desk research on the state-of-the-art and best practice of possible activation and participation tools and methods in European co-development processes at the neighbourhood level. Based on an overview of relevant European projects addressing neighbourhoods, this will include a thorough description of process characteristics, target groups, field of application, their purpose, advantages and disadvantages. The findings about these methods and tools will be categorised according to specific neighbourhood mobility challenges. This systematic summary thus forms crucial element of the knowledge base for the Neighbourhood Mobility Labs (NML) in each action neighbourhood and constitutes D2.1, the “Handbook for participation strategies for mobility issues in neighbourhoods”.
