One of the recent main problems in urban planning is to find ways in order to employ practical, very broad and commonly used theoretical principles such as participation. An additional issue is the exploitation of the possibilities of new technologies. The process of developing a flexible three-part (common core, public and planners) curriculum in the case of Agia Varvara (Athens, Greece) in the framework of the Leonardo project PICT (2002-2005) showed that ICT (Information Communication Technologies) can help in participation, mainly because it constitutes a relatively simple method of recording the views of both the public and the planners in a variety of subjects (both 'open' and 'closed'). © 2010, IGI Global.
