“…A multi-actor multi-criteria appraisal exercise can be undertaken in many different manners (see, amongst others, Salling, 2008;Dimitriou et al, 2010;Macharis et al, 2010 andLami et al 2011;Leleur, 2012;Barfod, 2012;Jensen, 2012;Jensen et al, 2013;Pensa et al, 2013;Barfod and Salling, 2015;De Brucker et al, 2015;Ward et al, 2016a and2016b;Barfod, 2018;Cornet et al, 2018a and2018b;Macharis and Baudry, 2018;Salling et al, 2018;Gatta et al, 2019)). Critical choices, potentially having a dramatic impact on the final results of the process, need to be made with reference to several aspects (Dean, 2018;Dean et al, 2019):…”

The topic of how major transport projects should be assessed continues to generate disputes amongst academics, infrastructure specialists, investors and governments alike. Over the past decades, an increasing number of scholars have started to regard participatory multi-criteria analysis (MCA) as an approach capable of producing more comprehensive, transparent and democratic assessments than traditional appraisal techniques. However, whereas a number of participatory MCA methods have been devised, the large majority of them seem to have enjoyed limited practical application and there are very few studies examining their effectiveness. In order to assess the presumed benefits and the potential drawbacks of such methods, this paper considers the case of the London Gateway Port and compares the actual planning and decisionmaking process of this port development programme with the results of a multi-actor multi-criteria appraisal exercise, involving several project stakeholders and experts. As a result of this analysis, the paper contends that the contribution that participatory MCA procedures can potentially provide to the improvement of decision-making for large-scale transport infrastructure seems limited at best.

Planning and decision making on spatial issues is a complex process which deals with a large number of variables, interests and stakeholders. Interactive visualisation tools can help, enabling information to be shared using spatial data visualisation, also known as 'geo-visualisation'. The idea is that interacting with data can improve users' knowledge and visualisation can increase intuitive perception, making them better equipped to evaluate alternative development options. The visual system presented in this paper works in both two and three dimensions, according to users' skills in interpreting images. It has been used in different applications, with diverse purposes and spatial scopes, showing its effectiveness in creating a common language among stakeholders and enabling discussions on spatial development.
