  • 2c. Engaging stakeholders and citizens during measure implementation

    Involving citizens and stakeholders is a key principle of the SUMP Guidelines (Ruppecht Consult 2019). As measures are not always precisely defined in a SUMP, continuing the engagement process into detailed design and implementation is important, as businesses and citizen groups can be impacted in different ways by construction and operational phases. Design amendments and mitigating actions can be identified to help reduce any problems and improve awareness of and the success of the measure.
    A number of enabling methodologies and platforms have been established and tested in the SUMP PLUS project to support active engagement and participatory approaches from different stakeholders and citizens in the development of the tailored implementation strategy for planning, management and delivery of the core measure packages.
    Guidance is provided on how cities can utilise appropriate approaches for engagement with different stakeholders at various points in the implementation planning and implementation management process.
