Citizen participation - infrastructure
Project conflicts
Public participation in large-scale and infrastructure projects is increasing. The more the participants, the more the potential for conflict.
This is where our advice on public participation practices comes into play. As a preventive measure or as a response to pre-existing differences, our advisory services help businesses to consistently involve citizens and create synergies with and accept them.
