Mobile units can make it easier to provide the technical support necessary for community planning activity. They are particularly useful for working in communities lacking facilities or where a series of similar events are planned in several locations.
Mobile units can range from a van used to transport an exhibition to a mobile home or trailer converted into a fully equipped design studio.
The choice of vehicle is determined by its intended use, the sizerequired and whether it needs off-road capability.
The units are fitted out with facilities and equipment necessary for the activities planned (see third tab).
Suitable graphics are applied to the outside to create the desired image.
