International designer Andres Duany will be at the Lochgelly Charette in March

Internationally acclaimed designer Andres Duany and his team, will be heading to Lochgelly for the Lochgelly Charette from Monday 8th to Saturday 13th March to work with the local community, developers, landowners and planners as part of the Scotland Charrette, the Scottish Government's Sustainable Communities Initiative.

A charrette is a form of intensive and focused community engagement. Its aim of the process is to capture the vision, values and ideas of the community. Each day the design team works to rapidly progress design options for the Lochgelly area that can then be tested through workshops the next day.

The Miners Institute has been identified as the venue for the design studio with the public meetings taking place in the Lochgelly Town Hall.
