Community consultation is important for ensuring that we get a built environment that is fit for purpose and could be an opportunity for serious dialogue with the community about how best to make places for everybody, rather than the perfunctory and excluding affair it often is now. There is to date little consensus on how best to gather community responses to planning proposals to feed into the design and development of successful (high social, environmental and economic value) places. Ultimately community consultation has largely untapped potential for learning how the design of buildings and places can be done better, particularly important in the Climate Emergency and for 'building back better' in the aftermath of the pandemic. Although the focus of the project is on the UK, the problems are global and the outcomes scalable.In some parts of the country community consultation ceased during the pandemic, with decision making being delegated to pressurised Planning Officers who may not always have the interests of the community at heart. An imminent government review of planning in England is seeking to make the system more streamline. This could jeopardise community consultation which is known for being difficult and slow. A robust, inclusive, value for money format (digital and physical) for gathering data on what communities want from their buildings and places in the long term is urgently needed. To create such a platform is the aim of CCQoL.Led by the University of Reading, with Co-Investigators in all four countries of the UK, CCQoL is a collaboration with the Quality of Life Foundation, the community consultation platform Commonplace, inclusive consultation experts Urban Symbiotics and the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CACHE). It is supported by a wide range of policy and industry organisations including the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), Civic Voice and the British Property Federation. Following a review of best practice in community consultation, user experiences (face to face and digital) will be designed for piloting on real planning applications in each of the four countries of the UK. Consultations will take place in an 'urban room', a community space, disused shop or pop up in the city with parallel, but interconnected, consultations on line. Community members will be asked to contribute to the making of maps to show what they value in the area and to anticipate the potential impacts of the planning proposal. A variety of experimental formats will be used to make the consultation as engaging as possible. Locally based Community Partnership Managers will be employed to encourage inclusive participation. The platforms will be refined based on learning from the pilots. The main output will be a digital format for community consultation. This will link to the CCQoL platform, a series of digital maps which will offer a standardised format for gathering data on what communities want on an ongoing basis, scalable for use elsewhere with potential applications for other spheres of decision making. The Quality of Life Foundation and Commonplace will be responsible for the further development of the platform beyond the life of the project. Guidance for delivering face to face consultation on the ground will also be developed, as well as a series of reports on community consultation for each of the four UK planning contexts. This pragmatic project will be underpinned by robust academic research published through a series of refereed journal papers. A generation has grown up designing virtual environments in games such as Sim City. CCQoL will provide the next step towards a digitally generated and constructed, co-created built environment. The foundations of such a future need to be designed with great care to ensure that it fulfils its positive potential.

社区谘询对确保我们有一个合乎目的的建筑环境至为重要，并可让我们有机会与社会人士就如何为每个人腾出最好的地方进行认真的对话，而不是现在经常出现的敷衍了事和排斥的情况。到目前为止，对于如何最好地收集社区对规划建议的反应，以便为成功的(高社会、环境和经济价值)地方的设计和开发提供支持，几乎没有达成共识。归根结底，社区咨询在很大程度上具有尚未开发的潜力，可以学习如何更好地设计建筑物和场所，特别是在气候紧急情况下以及在疫情过后“重建得更好”方面尤为重要。虽然该项目的重点是英国，但问题是全球性的，结果是可扩展的。在该国的一些地区，社区咨询在大流行期间停止，决策被委托给压力很大的规划官员，他们可能并不总是把社区的利益放在心上。英国政府即将对规划进行审查，以求使该系统更加精简。这可能会危及以困难和缓慢著称的社区协商。迫切需要一种强大、包容、物有所值的格式(数字和实物)，以收集社区从其建筑物和场所长期想要什么的数据。创建这样一个平台是CCQOL的目标。由雷丁大学与英国所有四个国家的联合调查人员合作，CCQOL是与生活质量基金会、社区咨询平台COMMONPLE、包容性咨询专家城市共生和英国住房证据合作中心(CACHE)合作的。它得到了广泛的政策和行业组织的支持，包括住房、社区和地方政府部(MHCLG)、公民之声和英国房地产联合会。在审查了社区咨询的最佳做法之后，将设计用户体验(面对面和数字)，以便在英国四个国家的每个国家试行真正的规划应用。咨询将在城市中的“城市房间”、社区空间、废弃商店或弹出窗口中进行，同时在线进行平行但相互关联的咨询。社区成员将被要求参与绘制地图，以显示他们在该地区的价值，并预测规划建议的潜在影响。将使用各种试验性形式，使磋商尽可能吸引人。将聘用当地的社区伙伴关系经理，以鼓励包容性参与。这些平台将在向飞行员学习的基础上进行改进。主要成果将是用于社区咨询的数字格式。这将链接到CCQOL平台，这是一系列数字地图，将提供一种标准化格式，用于持续收集社区需要的数据，并可扩展用于其他地方，与其他决策领域的潜在应用程序一起使用。生活质量基金会和普通人将负责平台在项目生命周期之外的进一步发展。还将为在实地提供面对面咨询提供指导，并针对英国的四个规划背景编写一系列关于社区咨询的报告。这个务实的项目将得到通过一系列被引用的期刊论文发表的强有力的学术研究的支持。一代人从小就在《模拟城市》等游戏中设计虚拟环境。CCQOL将向数字化生成和构建、共同创建的建筑环境迈出下一步。这种未来的基础需要非常谨慎地设计，以确保它发挥其积极的潜力。
