PlannersNest is a planning-literacy and development-support platform.
We simplify planning issues, support public understanding, and help organizations engage communities more effectively around land, development, and the built environment.
Our work focuses on strengthening planning literacy, supporting meaningful participation, and promoting transparency in planning and development processes. Through research, education, engagement, and professional support, we help institutions and communities better understand planning systems and contribute to more informed decision-making.
We design clear and accessible learning materials that simplify planning laws, processes, and key concepts so communities can better understand how planning decisions affect the places where they live and work.
We support the design of inclusive public participation processes that help communities understand planning issues, engage meaningfully, and contribute to shaping planning outcomes.
We develop education-focused tools and guidance that help people understand land ownership, planning approvals, and development requirements before making key development decisions.
