NORSKO: Participatory tool Place Standard - practice from Norway 
The Place Standard Tool is a Scottish tool that enables citizens to be effectively involved in the planning or evaluation of a particular place or locality. This method makes it possible to evaluate the physical aspect of the place (for example, its open spaces and transport connections) but also the social aspects (for example, whether people feel that they can co-decide about the place in question).
In Norway, the tool was translated into Norwegian and pilot testing took place in 4 cities with the intention of finding out how it works in the Norwegian context and possibly adapting it before it is made available in the entire network of Norwegian Healthy Cities.

Monitoring and evaluation |
|
| Has the impact of the implemented activity / project been measured and evaluated in any way? | The participants of the workshops responded very positively. They felt that using the tool they were better able to convey information about how they perceive their surroundings to local politicians and the authority. |
| Do you plan to further develop/maintain the activity/project? | The Norwegian Healthy Cities Network shares the Norwegian version of the tool with the entire network and is often contacted by cities outside the network to use the tool. Multiple cities are using it, but we don't have track of which ones because we have the tool available on our website so members can download it themselves. |
