Abstract

Public participation through social media networks in Private housing scheme(PHS) projects is essential for fostering a feeling of community and avoiding resistance to the planning of housing scheme initiatives. It might help the private developers and government in identifying potential hurdles to any given landuse, allowing officials to work to eliminate them before making a final decision. This study will look at public participation in private housing scheme projectsthrough onlineplatformsin the metropolitan corporation Lahore. It emphasizes how the Government and Lahore Development Authority (LDA) encourage residents to participate more actively in PHS projects and the requirement of aligning tools with goals to enhance citizen engagement. To get a comparative understanding, the approaches and practices of public engagement in urban planning projects in selected industrialized and developing nations and Pakistan have been critically studied. On the other hand,Social media plays effective role in engaging public in concerned projects. It allows for cost-effective, efficient information sharing among public/stakeholders through various media types, including videos. It allows for the education of a broad audience about issues and encourages engagement. It canbe used alongside other communication initiatives for wider public/stakeholder interaction.Moreover, participant's education was greatly aided by public consultation. It is maintained that public engagement in PHS is steadily increasing in Lahore, Pakistan despite some obstacles. Applying a more proactive strategy throughout the PHS clearance process and prior to site selection for development projects is one suggestion made to improve PHS public engagement effectiveness in Pakistan.
