Digital engagement, powered by KOR.
PlaceShaping builds on 20 years of engagement expertise to connect local development projects with local people, using digital channels to invite more diverse voices into the conversation.
Why PlaceShaping?
Powered by two decades of KOR's sector expertise, PlaceShaping complements traditional consultation by bringing engagement to people through digital channels, helping projects reach wider audiences and capture a broader range of perspectives.
START THE CONVERSATION
Raise awareness of projects early and encourage communities to engage from the outset, helping to inform proposals before they are finalised.
BROADEN PARTICIPATION
Use digital channels to engage a wider range of people, perspectives and backgrounds alongside traditional consultation activity. Feedback gathered during pre-application engagement can help inform proposals and support Statements of Community Involvement.
MOBILISE SUPPORT
Once an application has been submitted, PlaceShaping makes it easy for local people to share their views directly with decision makers and highlight the aspects of a proposal they support.
Shaping projects across the built environment
Whether promoting land, shaping development proposals or engaging communities on planning applications, PlaceShaping helps projects reach wider audiences, hear more diverse voices and gather meaningful feedback at every stage of the planning process.
