Background & Purpose

There is a need to ensure that more people and organizations have a say in how our cities and public spaces are built. The government wants to improve cooperation between the public sector, businesses, and local residents to create better living environments.

The Decision

The parliament formally received the government's report and concluded the matter, meaning no new laws or regulations were created at this time.

Does this affect you?

  • Urban planners and architects: They are encouraged to adopt a more inclusive approach by involving local communities and various stakeholders in the design process.
  • Local residents: They are expected to have better opportunities to share their perspectives and influence the development of their local neighborhoods.

In Practice

  • The government will work to include more voices when planning new buildings and public spaces.
  • Increased focus on dialogue between local residents, companies, and government agencies.
  • The goal is to make the design of our shared environment more inclusive and collaborative.
