Dr. Anne Cunningham

I have 25 years of experience in the research, design and delivery of public participation processes and practices in the context of urban and rural planning, landscape architecture and public place/ landscape governance. This includes:

• working in multi-disciplinary teams to integrate appropriate participatory methodologies and methods into design and planning projects. Everything from collaborative governance and strategy workshops, to public workshops, art installations and cups of tea.
• providing evidence-based advice, training and mentoring for consultants, local authorities and government agencies
• process design/ review, facilitation and mediation, often for more complex or challenging contexts e.g., mode shift and climate hazards/adaptation.
