Conflict and disagreement are inevitable parts of the urban planning process. This course provides students the opportunity to learn the skills and techniques of negotiation and collaborative planning, the practice of engaging diverse people and groups to resolve disputes and come to agreement. Topics covered include interest-based negotiation, stakeholder analysis, facilitation, mediation, the consensus building approach to multiparty negotiation, and the design of equitable engagement. Special attention is paid to race, gender, and cultural diversity, as well as the role of power and expert knowledge. Students explore these topics through in-class exercises and simulations, case analysis, readings, and discussion.
