Process & Timetable

Process

Identifying and learning from collaborators is a key step in the data collection process and will provide material for writing thesis chapters. Literature reviews and engagement materials will be created before each workshop. These will be published under the workshop headings on this site and also sent to the respective groups.

The engagement materials are intended to get the nub of things in a concise and interesting way, with the literature review underpinning these materials. The materials mean to convey the Lead Researcher's thinking, set out a series of questions for discussion and provoke thought in advance of a workshop.

There would be two rounds of workshops. In the first round, all three workshop groups would join a first workshop per group. In Round 2, participants will joing three groups called the NeoPlanners, Humanists and Planeteers based on their preferences and these groups will combine to participate in a second workshop. In this workshop, the combined group will examine the Round 1 conclusions as well as the Lead Researcher's work since Round 1. Together, the collaborators would evaluate how human and environmental interests may coexist and reflect on how this coexistence informs new, futures oriented, ways of devising infrastructure strategy.
