SURE Thematic Partner, Studio Metropolitana (StudMet) has a specific support group: an Expert Panel on participatory planning techniques. The thematic contribution of StudMet to the SURE network is twofold: first, StudMet is expected to provide practical coaching support for four partner cities in the development and application of participatory planning techniques. In addition StudMet is responsible for developing a ‘toolkit’ of participatory planning techniques that were applied during the implementation phase of the SURE project. The role of the Expert Panel is to make their individual expertise available to SURE partners during the implementation phase and then to contribute their experience in the production of the ‘toolkit’.
