Expectation of Community Building


We, as specialists, get involved with the city planning, cooperating with local citizens everyday. The process of planning cities is the process of realizing a dream. Communities exist inside of the attitude that people, who become conscious of independence of mind, self-identity, and responsibility as citizens, feel ones have a special role to play, have a common objective and sense of belonging, and try to act jointly.
There are two approaches for the Community Building (CB). One is to form practical plans, and the other is to enhance the reality of the plans. We believe that the planning experts are required abilities that achieve above two approaches. Moreover, it is inevitable that the specialists need sufficient leadership for plans and practices of the CB as well.
