Goal

To promote positive relationships between citizens and government in communities facing industrial development.

Objectives

1. To reconstruct the events associated with planning in a community undergoing industrial development. This will include a longitudinal review of local and provincial policies, reports, legal proceedings, media coverage, and decision-making;

2. To identify similarities and differences in viewpoints about industrial development between individuals and groups in a cross-section of the community. Key players in the case study will include landowners and residents, local government, business, and industrial organizations;

3. To build community capacity and trusting relationships among individuals and groups in the study community; and

4. To construct an improved framework for community consultation that may be used in communities facing future industrial development, with the intention of strengthening linkages in such communities.
