Public participation is important in urban planning to address NIMBY issues. A study used a game model to show that local governments play a big role in getting the public involved in environmental impact assessments. Public pressure drives the system to evolve, and trust between the public and local governments is key. Giving the public incentives slightly lower than the cost of participation is effective. This can help make urban planning greener and more sustainable.
