A Design Workshop is a multi-day public event typically used as part of a planning or design process. During a design workshop, a project team, with support from community members, stakeholders, and local government staff and officials, work together to develop plans, designs and solutions to address a particular issue or a set of issues. The workshop process promotes a high degree of citizen involvement by making the public process more accessible and more rewarding. The workshop also helps to streamline project approval processes by simultaneously bringing diverse interests and issues to the table to arrive at a conceptual design that all parties are committed to as they move forward with finalizing design and implementation.
