Making Plans that Matter:Citizen Involvement and Government Action
Abstract
Plans that are, as the cliché goes, “dead on arrival” and languish on local government shelves long have contributed to skepticism about the value of comprehensive plans. In this article, I show that if plans are to matter and have an impact on local government actions, planners must involve a wider array of stakeholders in plan making than is usually the case. Evidence from 60 plan-making processes in the states of Florida and Washington indicates that with greater stakeholder involvement, comprehensive plans are stronger, and proposals made in plans are more likely to be implemented. Planners can stimulate broader involvement by stakeholders by directly inviting more groups to take part in the planning process and by providing opportunities for dialogue in which planners both inform citizens about planning issues and listen to citizen concerns.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
