[ Back ]International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) - Scarborough's Future Celebration Dinner
01/07/2010
In 2009 'Scarborough's Future - Delivering an Urban Renaissance' won the IAP2 Project of the Year Award for it's commitment to proactively seeking people's views on the town's renaissance and placing these opinions at the centre of all major decisions.
JTP's involvement in Scarborough's Renaissance started in 2002 when we led the town wide community visioning process, as part of Yorkshire Forward's Urban Renaissance programme, which resulted in a new Vision and Renaissance Charter for the resort and the establishment of the Town Team. Since then Scarborough has been transformed and last year it won the award as Europe's most enterprising place and the Academy of Urbanism's ‘Great Town' award, in addition to the IAP2 award.

IAP2 is a worldwide organisation committed to promoting and improving public participation in local and national decision-making.
