Community participation is very important in the success of any development project, especially urban conservation projects
When the development projects achieve the interests of the population, it is easy to convince them of these projects, and it is difficult to persuade them and even force them if they cross with their interests
Conservation projects work well or have likelihood to work well if the affected communities are involved. Their involvement can be stimulated by their understanding and appreciating of what the project is about. Relevant information should be provided to communities. There is a need for thorough consultations and securing 'buy-in' by the communities for their support, from the inception of the project.
In my opinion, residents should be an important part of the project and their interests should be also taken into account. They should feel that are part of the solution of the problem and the project has to motivate them to contribute. Show them the effects of your project into the neighborhood life and their benefits.
A good question! The urban population will consist of a majority of uninterested people, some fanatically involved, and some destructive. It's how to involve the uninterested that is most urgent. To do this, you need to have thought out stages towards a clear goal that most citizens would approve of.
The new trend towards 'Citizen Science' can be valuable. Start with a simple question and a webpage. Most people have a smart phone with a camera and can provide examples of what you are looking for, whether stunning architecture, lanes with touristy potential, urban wildlife refuges or black spots. Make them feel that what they are doing is valuable - it could result in a pop-up exhibition, a publication, or a public meeting.
Dear Haider Majid Hasan, It's a very important question.
I think The city center must be supported as part of a collective effort to involve the population in the development process. and It is also possible to focus on following contemporary standards in the design of rental space, providing convenience and comfort related to shopping centers within an integrated structure, and working to collect financial support from the government and private sector for investors, banks and banks to finance the rest of the development and rehabilitation of the historic city center.
With the greatest Greetings
