 During the last decades, planners have become aware that spatial planning increasingly requires the involvement of several actors. The term sustainable planning has been coined to denote the necessity of achieving a consensus among actors over a spatial plan. Participative and interactive methods have been developed in sustainable planning, enabling planners to include the opinions, perceptions, and knowledge of actors with different backgrounds and levels of professionalism. Research work has been focussing on the development, design and application of tools that support such a trend in interactive multi-actor spatial planning. However, the appropriateness and effectiveness of these tools seem to be oxymoronic. This workshop aims at presenting and discussing original and novel approaches in interactive multi-actor spatial planning, and their application for the implementation of accompanying tools.
