TOD City Zoning, Permits, and Related Approval ProcessesJesse Souki
One of the largest public investments in the history of the City and County of Honolulu, the Honolulu Rail Transit project will fundamentally change how we live and do business. Transit-oriented development (TOD) will increase property values near transit stations by providing the opportunity to take advantage of frequent transit service. The project will allow an unprecedented opportunity to direct growth to Honolulu’s Urban Core (the most populated region of the state) away from agricultural, open space, and rural areas; stimulate urban renewal projects near the 21 proposed rail stations along the approximately 20-mile route; support cost-efficient, consolidated infrastructure; and increase housing affordability by reducing one of the highest costs in a Hawaii family’s budget: transportation.
This seminar will provide key insights and analysis from experts and thought leaders on policy, planning, law, and real estate market issues related to TOD.

Fairfax County Judicial (Massey) Complex Master Plan 12/10/20Fairfax County
Many structures exist on the 47.8 acre complex and are planned to remain. The master plan looked at strategic land use and development planning for the best use and integration within the surrounding area.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is actively assembling riverfront properties that will, in time, become developed parkland as envisioned by RiverFirst and the Above the Falls Regional Park Master Plan. Often, the properties have continuing commercial uses or are otherwise not ready for park development.
The Park Board annually sets aside funds to help manage the properties. However, it’s a struggle to implement a successful toolkit of simple yet impactful management strategies that demonstrate good stewardship, communicate positive messages and provide compelling community value. As a result, they often appear abandoned, don’t communicate positive messages to the public and provide little functional value.
The Dept. of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota College of Design's RA-In-Practice program through the Minneapolis Parks Foundation has developed a policy framework and conceptual approaches to managing properties that celebrate them as meaningful public spaces with minimal capital investment.
This strategy was prepared over 2015-2016 with these Research Assistants: Leslie Johnson, Han Do and Chris Tallman.

RV 2014: Mind Our Dust- Supporting Businesses During Construction by Ellen Mu...Rail~Volution
Mind Our Dust: Supporting Businesses During Construction AICP CM 1.5
Supporting existing businesses during transit construction is a priority. Transit agencies, regional and city partners across the country have developed a wide array of assistance programs to keep businesses well-positioned during construction. What works? What doesn't? How do you get businesses to take advantage of the programs early and well in advance of construction? Explore a variety of programs with a wide range of services including how to carve out budget for business support initiatives, way-finding/directional signage, marketing, business counseling, technical assistance, loan programs, grants and peer-to-peer forums. Learn how to use support from partners to customize programs for each unique community.

Schematic Design of RiverFirst Priority Projects is progressing well, as this presentation from TLS/KVA, the RiverFirst Design Team, demonstrates. In this document, you'll see evidence of the Design Team's flexible approach to developing parks and development side-by-side, over time. These iterations of the original RiverFirst Vision remain true to the RiverFirst principles - Go with the Flow, Design with Topography, Both/And, Parks Plus - while adapting to the existing conditions. See schematics for: "Loops" of Mississippi Riverfront trails and bridge paths, connecting avenues, a kit of parts for a dynamic wayfinding proposal, and man-made bio-islands to float seasonally in the Mississippi River. Look especially for Scherer Park, where the restoration of Hall's Island makes way for a protected cove and beach, brings historic interest and, most importantly, is the first of multiple habitat patches needed to transform the Upper Riverfront from "ditch" to destination - for people and creatures.
What interests some Minnesotans most about RiverFirst? Jon Commers, Principal of Donjek, told our Steering Committee on January 17, that three themes are emerging from his research:
Interest in how RiverFirst binds together separate sites
Eagerness for immediate demonstration
Desire to make RiverFirst concrete for the public
Donjek is preparing the RiverFirst Funding Strategy, scheduled for release this July. Commers and his team have been interviewing leaders in the private, public and nonprofit sectors, along with other stakeholders.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
