EAST CLAYTON CHARRETTE PROCESS

Public consultation, through the charrette process, was the key to the successful creation of the East Clayton NCP.

Landscape architects served to facilitate the charette event. The Headwaters Project was envisioned as a replicable model capable of overcoming the institutional barriers associated with more sustainable communities.

The charrette structure guaranteed that the local landowners’ interests were represented, and it enabled a group of local individuals to appreciate how the underlying principles and features of the East Clayton plan came together to form a highly mixed-use and sustainable community.
