"The SSCI Charrette Series has been designed to provide new potential models of good practice for sustainable development, and will illustrate that high-quality, sustainable places can be delivered across the whole of Scotland."
"Three projects have been identified by the Scottish Government for inclusion in the Charrette Series from the eleven exemplars that were recognised as working towards 'Creating a Scottish Sustainable Community'. The selected projects are:
* Grandhome & Whitestripes
* Ladyfield
* Lochgelly
"Following the conclusion of the charrettes on-site, specific deliverables for each landowner will be identified, and a book will be published in early summer 2010, providing a detailed explanation of the processes and outcomes of the charrette series. The book will explore the challenges of development in Scotland in the post-war era and introduce the three sites as case studies for sustainable development in Scotland."
