I have been to a few public charrettes, the more interesting of the two incorporated groups of people at tables which included the public, designers and city staff. Each team was given a site that was being considered for inclusion in the CRA and was asked to redesign. The friction between the more irate members of the public with young ambitious designers and typically stodgy city functionaries was pure entertainment. It was an incredible meeting of the minds! Check out the Delray Beach Florida CRA's site for the final form of some of the ideas in action. Good post.
