"An internationally acclaimed designer, will be working with Scottish projects on plans for low-carbon communities.
Andres Duany, who drew up designs for rebuilding work in Louisiana and Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, will run design workshops, known as 'charrettes', for projects in Dumfries, Aberdeen and Fife.
The projects are taking part in a government initiative set up to encourage the development of new sustainable communities where residents can enjoy a high quality of life while reducing their carbon footprint."

Having participated in a Charrette, as a member of the public, APTSec (though not APTSec then as no APT) did not find it a helpful experience. I e mailed my misgivings about the charrette process to the Chief Planner who wrote back to me on Wednesday 18/04/2007:
"I note your concerns on the interpretation of the city vision document and your disenchantment with the charette."
