Public Participation for Nurmijärvi Ilvesvuori local detailed plan
Open project database
In spring 2021 the municipality of Nurmijärvi began drafting a local detailed plan for the northern Ilvesvuori area. The updated plan would allow for a large Kesko Corporation logistics centre. This has caused concerns in the neighborhood regarding, for instance, negative impacts during construction.
Nurmijärvi asked Akordi for support in communication and public engagement during the planning process. This work included preparing the communication and engagement plan for the local detailed planning process, and planning and organizing the public participation when the local detailed plan draft and proposal were available for public feedback.
The aim was to:
- increase the transparency of the planning,
- provide the public with more information,
- identify and formulate a jointly accepted and shared view on key issues that need to be solved, their possible solutions and further knowledge needs, and to
- support the planning by creating participatory forums for joint problem solving and collaboration.
Akordi’s role as an external neutral was to enable and assist the participants in their interactions.
