Strategy aside, each project requires its own rationalisation and decision making
Community’s feedback is key to success, but can’t be preempted
Views change with time > introduce change incrementally if you need to
Involve community in strategic decision making
Be prepared for a rough ride!

Investment in public realm is not supported by everyone: there will always be questions around better use of the funds and impacts of change
Community capacity building is important to inform decision making
Stick to the vision and prepare for a rough ride!

SOMETIMES INCREMENTAL CHANGE MAY BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS
TACKLE BARRIERS FROM MANY ANGLES
BUILD CAPACITY
MAKE AS MANY FRIENDS AS POSSIBLE
YOU WILL NEVER WIN ON ALL ACCOUNTS, AS VIEWS VARY
TIME CHANGES VIEWS
COMMIT TO VISION AND CHANGE
STICK WITH IT
