Approximately 60 people were invited, with a total of 48 in
attendance for both days. Our invitees were a combination of our
core design and development team, municipal representatives
from Innis昀椀l, local residents, and allies to our vision.
While most Charrettes narrow their scope to energy ef昀椀ciency or
sustainability, our Charrette represented the original intention of
the word:
a collaborative planning process that harnesses
the talents and energies of all interested parties to create
and support a master plan that represents transformative
community change.
