BEST PRACTICES

TO REFLECT, YOU NEED TO USE TO USE YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND

• Step 3

• Without use, assessing usability is pointless

• Detailed ideas on how to get planners to play around with the instrument

• Freedom of thinking & escape reflective attitude

• Work in groups

• Have some clear supporting materials that forces use (stickers, pens, post its)

BEST PRACTICES

Amsterdam • “We do not want to develop a concrete strategy” • “We rather want to learn about what could work

and what does not” • “Develop shared understanding between land use

and transport”

• You have to play and test assumed interventions to learn about this

• A means, not a goal!

Intervention strategies • Need for free environment • To learn; no politics, no negotiations

• No final strategies, but a list of interdependencies

and robust choices: • If housing in newtown, then huge investment in

network needed • Always try to locate jobs close to station in

corridor to Utrecht
