The document discusses new directions in planning and community design. It summarizes trends like changing demographics, consumer preferences for walkable and sustainable communities, and the time needed for innovations. It then discusses concepts like sustainable development, complete communities, and form-based codes that regulate urban form instead of separating uses. Examples are provided of redevelopment projects and how visioning and public outreach can lead to more dynamic planning.

3. Where Will the People Go? Broad age demographic: Eisenhowers 17% Boomers 27% Gen X 18% Gen Y 27% Gen Z 10% Lifestage influences choices Minority share to grow to 35% Source: Claritas Group Source: Rudlin and Falk,1999

4. Consumer Trends/Desire Community First (Longer term perspective) Sustainable Compact, transit oriented Proximity to services, jobs, education Urban “cool” Global/local responsibility Rise in non-traditional/shrinking households (WINKS) Growth in minority households Generational shifts (BB’s, Gen Y’s) Move down Flexible Homes

5. Years Required for Innovation 3 years 3 – 5 years 5 - 10 years 8 - 12 years 12 - 20 years 20 - 50 years

6. Sustainable Development Integrate the human and natural systems into a truly Sustainable Environment. A Healthy Natural Environment Augment a Strong Local Economy and a Diverse and Dynamic Community

22. Regulating The Urban Forum Form-based Code Patterns Regulates form Network of streets Pedestrian oriented Mixed-use Flexible, adaptable Diversity of housing types Emphasizes compact development Preserves ag and natural lands

23. Retail Revitalization Conventional Retail Site (Power Center) Single use, Big box retail Expansive, underutilized field of park Lack of “There” There No Residential Auto Dominant Lack of Identity

24. Retail Revitalization Mixed-Use Neighborhood Core Mix of Uses Compact, Pedestrian oriented Fosters strong sense of place Variety of residential types Flexible over time Buildings create space Shared parking

25. Visioning / Public Outreach Collaboration Multi – disciplinary Inclusive “ Provides a feasible plan” A Dynamic Planning Process - “ A holistic process based on local values that creates strategies and solutions which supports healthy communities...”
