Aberdeen City Council Regeneration and Transport Spokesman Councillor Ross Grant said: "These events mark the next steps of our regeneration agenda for these areas, and is linked to the very successful community engagement sessions which were held over the past few months.
"It's very important the people who locally take part as their input helps shape the future of their areas.
"We want people who live in these three communities to help develop and implement plans in their neighbourhood.
"These are an opportunity for everyone to get involved the early stages of that process by sharing information and views on a vision for each area, the specific needs of the community and identify priorities and key themes for inclusion in a shared plan for the neighbourhood."
From the events, it is planned a 10-year vision for each area will be formed, along with priorities and key themes for developing neighbourhood plans.
