This workshop provides planners and community leaders with a set of communications tools for defining the issues and the choices our communities face regarding what, where and how to build. Participants will learn to describe their zoning, housing, development, and planning objectives in values-based language that resonates with voters across demographic differences, and that neutralizes or weakens opposition. Through presentation, discussion and hands-on application, participants will strengthen and clarify their language in all media, and be able to apply the principles discussed to their next and on-going communications.
