7 September 2022

A book written by Dr. Alexander Wilson of Newcastle University alongside Professor Mark Tewdwr-Jones of University College London has received a commendation in the RTPI Sir Peter Hall Award for Excellence in Research & Engagement 2022.

The book, ‘Digital Participatory Planning: Citizen Engagement, Democracy, and Design’ outlines developments in the field of digital planning and designs and trials a range of technologies, from the use of apps and digital gaming through to social media, to examine how accessible and effective these new methods are. It assesses whether digital technology offers an opportunity for the public to engage with urban change, to enhance public understanding and the quality of citizen participation, and to improve the proactive possibilities of urban planning more generally.

The School wishes to offer its congratulations to both Zander and Mark for this fantastic achievement.
