As policy planne?s we may react to site designs from a regulatory point-of-view. This session <br />will engage planners in hands-on design problems. How do you begin when designing a <br />subdivision? What design aspects are important in neighborhood redeve}opment and how do you <br />decipher them? This session is intended for plan. hers and Planning Commissioners who need to <br />understand the design basics. Mr. Marckels, from the U of M Design Center, will lead us through <br />some design basics and then allow us to "play in the sandbox." <br /> Dan Marckels, University of Minnesota Design Center for the American Urban Land. scape <br /> <br />Kit Welchlin is a highly energetic speaker who will utilize a variety o£approaches and hands-on <br />exercises to help us increase our negotiating abilities. While planners typically operate in an <br />atmosphere of collaboration and consensus building (hopefully), much of it is actually <br />negotiating. In this session you will learn how to get people and groups to build more effective <br />solutions through cooperation. Mr. Welchlin will teach us the five reasons why people don't <br />cooperate, techniques to gain cooperation, five steps in the negotiation process, and <br />characteristics of effective negotiators. In addition, we will also practice various techniques to <br />help strengthen confidence and reach identified outcomes. <br /> Kit Wetchlin, Welchlin Communication Stritegies <br /> <br />Opening Reception in Exhibit Area <br /> <br />Planners, planning students, and planning commissioners are all welcome to join the fun.
