The conference on “Envisioning as a participatory planning tool”  is organised by UN-HABITAT/Municipal Spatial Planning Support Programme (MuSPP), funded by Sida and the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning, with the support of the Ministry of Local Government Administration, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung and Cultural Heritage without Borders. The envisioning workshops were the inclusive planning activities organised with an active participation of local government officials and civil society organisations from nine Kosovo municipalities. The main purpose of the conference is to better understand the power of participatory envisioning as a planning tool and its impact on the future territorial organization and management of a neighborhood, a city or a region based on a shared vision and concepts. Also, it aims at enhancing good governance through participatory and gender sensitive planning methods. The conference will bring together a range of municipalities from those at the beginning of their spatial planning process to those which are now implementing their plans. The conference will also offer an opportunity to exchange experience with representatives of different countries on related topics. The conference will not only provide feedback on the first cycle of vision workshops but also deliver recommendations and guidelines for the future vision cycle, resulting in an Advisory Note from MuSPP to its counterparts at the local and central levels. The conference will take place in Grand Hotel, Prishtinë/Priština, on 9th of November, 2010, starting at 09:30.
