Community Engagement & Co-design

At JTP, we see community engagement as a creative collaboration — not a consultation exercise. JTP Engages brings together 30 years of placemaking experience with innovative co-design techniques, digital tools such as the JTP Engages interactive map, and AI to help communities actively shape the future of their places.

Each engagement programme is bespoke and co-created with our clients, responding to the project context, community, objectives and budget. By combining in-person and digital approaches, we reach a broader, younger and more diverse audience, building trust, transparency and shared ownership from the outset.

Why Use JTP Engages?

Led by our dedicated JTP Engages team, we work collaboratively with clients, consultants and communities to deliver engagement that:

– Reaches broader and more diverse audiences
– Builds early support and public trust
– Creates a strong local identity
– Keeps engagement proportionate and within budget
– Supports a smoother, more efficient planning process

By holding the pencil as designers, we listen, draw and create alongside local people — blending human creativity with technology to deliver inclusive, meaningful and measurable outcomes.
