TOOLKITS, TECHNIQUES, HIGH-TECH AND NON-TRADITIONAL/DIVERSE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HELPS TO MAKE PLANNING ABOUT PEOPLE
A verbal presentation is given at the end of the week’s work by CRE’s Consulting Corps (Corps). It is followed up with a longer, written version of expert advice.
Along with intense engagement with a broad base of
stakeholders, the value of the Corps’ work is it can create strategies based
more in economic realities. Sometimes cities get stuck on an unrealistic
redevelopment plan.
“City staff might say ‘we want this land to be industrial
and we want to have this company develop it.’
When the market reality might be that the land doesn’t
have the infrastructure for industry or the market realities preclude a firm
from locating to the site,” Dekoven said.
