Community-based planning plays a crucial role in rural-urban interface architecture as it involves the collaboration of different stakeholders within the community to plan the development of the interface zone. Community-based planning ensures that the needs, values, and aspirations of the local community are integrated into the planning process, leading to sustainable and livable spaces. This approach also ensures that the design interventions reflect the local culture, history, and context of the community, promoting a sense of ownership and belonging. Furthermore, community-based planning can foster social cohesion, enhance social capital and promote collective action towards creating a resilient rural-urban interface. Overall, community-based planning is vital in creating architecture that is responsive and relevant to the community at the interface.
