Powell Dobson Urbanists believe that consultation should form an integral part of any design process.  The perception of local residents and people who work, use and look after a place is invaluable to developing positive changes for any community.  Consultation is a way of integrating this local knowledge with consultative research, resulting in a more cohesive and robust design. 

Powell Dobson Urbanists have recently been recognised for this part of their design process, and have been re appointed on the WAG framework as Community Engagement Consultants for the next four years.
