# When to use JUSThood?

Participatory activities should always be done at the beginning of urban design projects to consult residents as true experts and knowledge-mines of places. Only after honestly listening to inhabitants, their input has to be translated into the master plans by architects and urban planners, and then given to the consultation of professionals, such as traffic and infrastructure specialists. Thus, the JUSThood method is placed as a bridge between the participatory activities and designing the master plan by planners.
