The Design & Planning Process: Developing a Community Vision

Abstract

Module 3 will present how successfully integrated land use and transportation projects actively involve local residents and business owners to take ownership of the project, ensuring its implementation.

The module will demonstrate how the project team does not "design for" the community, but rather "designs with" the community. The session will demonstrate a successful model of community engagement and a successful approach to developing a community vision through stakeholder and partner agency participation. This comprehensive design effort moves beyond the traditional public information process and empowers local partnering public agencies and vested stakeholders to influence the transportation initiative and community design process.
