Visioning processes are designed to enable participants to reach a series of consensus decisions on a community's current conditions and future trends, to agree upon a desired future or futures, and to develop a clear strategy for how to reach that desired future. The following are distinguishing characteristics of this approach: • Proactive, innovative, and interactive public outreach techniques and stakeholder engagement; • Focus on community context, livability, and values; • Emphasis on technical development of alternative scenarios, both collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches; and • Expansion of ownership of the process and responsibility for implementation from elected officials, agencies, organizations, and residents.
