This document discusses downward accountability in development organizations and the role of power in empowering beneficiaries. It summarizes a study of two NGOs in India - Rural Life and Unison - and their approaches to governance, communication, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. While Rural Life took a top-down hierarchical approach, Unison engaged communities collaboratively. As a result, Unison was more effective at empowering communities, reducing dependence and challenging social roles, while Rural Life perpetuated dependency. For downward accountability to achieve empowerment, the study concludes development organizations must critically address underlying power imbalances and reasons for beneficiaries' disempowerment.
Dr. Georgette "Gette" Dumont presented on using social media to build relationships. She defined social media as computer technologies that allow sharing of information through virtual communities. Dumont discussed how nonprofits can use social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook to research current and prospective donors by analyzing interests, networks and common connections. She emphasized that social media is a tool for starting and nurturing relationships over time rather than directly asking for donations. Dumont also suggested tools like Google Alerts to stay updated on donors and prospects.
This document discusses lessons learned from urban planning about open data. It notes that citizens are generally more interested in improving their communities and seeing results rather than just having data for its own sake. Data is most useful to citizens when it can help them influence change and extend their reach to improve conditions in areas they care about. The document advocates for using data in a way that helps citizens achieve real results and progress in their communities.

America\'s twentieth century highway building era included freeways which cut huge swaths across our cities, decimating neighborhoods and reducing quality of life for city residents. This massive infrastructure investment had devastating effects on local economies. It blighted property and pushed access to basic amenities further out.
Across the Country the Federal and State Departments of Transportation confronting shrinking budgets and cities looking for ways to increase their revenues, it is an ideal time to offer, alternatives to the reconstruction of expressways. The alternative to the highway will be discussed, showing the cost savings, improvement of mobility, and the ability to foster lasting redevelopment. Cases studies will illustrate how cities can maximize their transportation dollars while stabilizing neighborhoods.
Huntingburg downtown revitalization plan Matthew Crane
This document provides an analysis of existing demographic and market conditions in Huntingburg, Indiana to inform a downtown revitalization plan. It finds that while Huntingburg's population has grown moderately over the past decade, most new growth has occurred north of downtown. Additionally, the region has a strong manufacturing base and is a commuter destination for surrounding areas. However, an estimated $15 million in retail spending is leaking out of the primary and secondary trade areas each year, indicating potential to recapture spending and support additional businesses in downtown Huntingburg.

The document provides background information on Canberra, Australia's planned capital city. It discusses how Canberra was selected as the site for the new capital in 1908-1909. American architect Walter Burley Griffin's winning design from 1912 included axes centered around a artificial lake and separation of governmental and residential areas. Construction began in 1913 but was slowed by lack of funding and World War 1. The city grew gradually in the following decades and faced further delays from the Depression and World War 2. Rapid growth in the 1950s-60s led to expansion projects under the National Capital Development Commission to develop the city according to Griffin's original plan and design new satellite towns to accommodate the growing population.

The document summarizes a presentation about characteristics of indicator programs that effectively engage partners. It found that programs considered very effective at partnering were more likely to inform and influence partners' decisions, spur community action, and facilitate public/private alignment. They also tended to have indicators central to their program, involve partners in updates and discussions about data, and use communication methods like websites and gatherings more extensively. Overall, programs considered themselves most effective at initial indicator selection and collaboration, but less effective at engagement, development, incentives, and improving community well-being. The most effective programs relied on direct engagement and had performance improvement as a purpose.

To Understand the Eco-System in Digital Media Marketing.Saurabh Giratkar
Title of the Dissertation Report is “To Understand the ecosystem of digital media marketing” and Objectives of the Dissertation are to understand the change in consumer buying behavior in digital era. Methodology used for achieving these objectives is a exploratory research. For achieving the objective, I have done one research using an online questionnaire. The title for the research is “Understand the consumer buying behaviour of Indian in digital era”.
Main findings of this Dissertation are given here. Indian customers are highly information seekers. They collect more information about a product before buying it. Internet penetration in India is key player for this phenomenon. Most of Indians are getting stimulus through advertisements, but they are not reaching to end phase of customers purchase journey, mainly in high involvement purchases. Brands are getting more touch point to reach their target group in this digital era. More details about findings are given this report.
The successful completion of this Dissertation indicates that the future of marketing is in the hands of digital. I conclude my research by quoting again that “Brands can’t sustain without digital presence”
Advertising in business is a form of marketing communication used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience to take or continue to take some action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behaviour with respect to a commercial offering. Advertising is defined by Richard F. Taflinger as “Advertising is the non-personal communication of information usually paid for and usually persuasive in nature about products, services or ideas by identified sponsors through the various media."
The document summarizes research on redefining China's social platforms based on consumer value. It studied four types of users in first, second and third tier cities and five major social platforms: Weibo, Wechat, QQ, Renren and Douban. It finds that platforms are differentiating into social tools like Wechat that focus on real relationships and communication, and social media like Weibo that are more open and information-oriented. Weibo encourages participation in social affairs while Wechat facilitates private communication between friends. Future development will see the co-existence of social tools and media as consumers use both simultaneously.
From politics to marketing, from sociology to public health, surveys.docxlianaalbee2qly
From politics to marketing, from sociology to public health, surveys are routinely used for gathering information about an identified population. Surveys may cover a large swath of a population, such as the U.S. Census, or represent a microcosm of a larger population, such as a neighborhood public health survey.
In community health assessment, surveys are commonly used to explore an issue more widely than is possible through individual interviews or focus groups. Surveys may collect quantitative or qualitative data, or both. This week, you examine the use of surveys in community health assessment. Specifically, you consider the advantages and challenges of involving community members in both the design and implementation of surveys.
For this Discussion, review the Resources related to community involvement in survey design and implementation. Review the media titled
Surveys.
Consider some of the different ways that surveys were implemented and how the community was or was not involved in their design and implementation.
With these thoughts in mind:
3 pages of one advantage and one challenge of conducting community public health surveys and explain why. Describe one benefit and one limitation of involving the community in designing a survey and explain why. Then, describe one advantage and one challenge to involving the community in the implementation of a survey and explain why.
Be specific and use the Resources, media, and current literature to support your response.

Travel behavior refers to the study of how and why people travel. It examines factors like transportation choices, popular destinations, reasons for travel, and environmental impacts. Key questions studied include how many trips people take, where they go, what mode of transportation they use, who they travel with, when they travel, and their travel patterns and routes. Travel surveys using diaries are a common way to collect this data. The data is then used for transportation planning and forecasting traffic. Travel behavior has been studied since the 1940s and focuses on topics like mode choice, time-space analysis, and differences in travel patterns between genders and household structures. An intelligent tourist destination is innovative, has strong technological infrastructure to understand customers, and focuses on

This document summarizes a research study analyzing strategies for public participation in vacant land reuse processes in four mid-sized Ohio cities - Hamilton, Lima, Mansfield, and Youngstown. The researcher reviewed plans and documents from each city to identify relevant processes, then categorized the processes using Archon Fung's Democracy Cube framework of participation, communication/decision-making, and authority. Preliminary conclusions suggest Hamilton did little beyond minimum requirements, Lima engaged residents but they were not motivated, Mansfield engaged at some points but not for all projects, and Youngstown had many plans but impact has not been seen. Interviews with stakeholders are intended to provide more qualitative insight before finalizing analysis.

Those most at risk include the homeless, outdoor workers, children, elderly, and low-income communities and communities of color. As the climate changes, adaptation is needed in how infrastructure is built to protect vulnerable groups and ensure more resilient communities. The document calls for policies and market incentives to reflect climate change risks and for urgent action on climate change as a public health emergency.
NJ Redevelopment Forum 2020 - Lunch Keynote - Gov. GlendeningNew Jersey Future
Governor Parris Glendening gave a presentation on climate change, inequity, and the role of redevelopment at the New Jersey Future Redevelopment Forum on March 6, 2020. He discussed how climate change and demographic shifts are threatening communities and exacerbating inequities, and how redevelopment can help address these challenges by creating more walkable, transit-oriented, and resilient places that meet the needs of changing demographics. Redevelopment, smart growth, and transit-oriented development were presented as ways to confront these threats and build more equitable and sustainable communities.
The document is a presentation on the Pinellas Gateway/Mid-County Area Master Plan. It includes images and diagrams showing the proposed redevelopment of the area with a transit hub, multi-use trails, green infrastructure, manufacturing and industrial buildings, and open multi-purpose spaces. The presentation discusses attracting specialized manufacturing and implementing complete streets and safe intersections as part of the redevelopment. It concludes by thanking the audience and providing contact information for more details on the Gateway Master Plan.
This document summarizes key information from Sean D. Moriarty, Esq., Chief Advisor for Regulatory Affairs at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, on climate change challenges facing New Jersey and two executive orders signed by the governor to address these issues. It notes that sea levels are expected to rise significantly in New Jersey by 2100 and beyond, and that Executive Order 89 establishes a statewide climate change resilience strategy while Executive Order 100 directs regulatory reforms to mitigate and adapt to climate change through reducing carbon emissions and incorporating climate risks into land use regulations. Stakeholders are invited to provide comments on New Jersey's climate protection efforts.
This document discusses approaches to urban resilience for cities. It identifies various shocks and stresses that cities face such as flooding, economic inequality, inadequate infrastructure, and more. It also outlines levers that cities have within their sphere of influence to help address these challenges, such as their expense and capital budgets, government assets, procurement processes, zoning laws, tax policies, and ability to form partnerships. Infrastructure focused initiatives through partnerships between government and other sectors can help cities tackle a variety of stresses.
This document provides information about establishing and operating a stormwater utility. Some key points:
- Over 1,700 stormwater utilities operate in the US, ranging from populations of 88 to over 3 million served.
- Utilities are created by ordinance and provide dedicated funding for stormwater management services.
- Services typically include infrastructure, permitting compliance, education, and more.
- Fees are usually based on impervious surface area using an Equivalent Residential Unit. Credits can incentivize green infrastructure.
- Partnerships can help smaller municipalities by sharing services, equipment, and expertise. Various financing options are also available.
This document discusses 13 lessons learned about implementing green infrastructure. It begins by describing proposed changes to New Jersey regulations that would require non-structural stormwater management strategies and minimum standards for recharge, runoff quality and quantity to be met using green infrastructure for major developments disturbing over 1 acre of land. It then provides lessons such as locating green infrastructure strategically, maintaining it long-term, using engineered soil, capturing water from all areas, and how green infrastructure can benefit and engage communities. The overall message is that green infrastructure is an effective approach for managing stormwater and achieving regulatory goals while creating aesthetic and ecological benefits.
The document summarizes New Jersey's stormwater management rules. It discusses amendments made in 2018-2019 that were adopted in March 2020, with an effective date of March 2021. Key changes include requiring the use of green infrastructure to manage stormwater close to its source, establishing drainage area limitations for certain GI BMPs, clarifying definitions, and requiring stormwater quality, quantity, and recharge standards to be met on-site for each drainage area.
This document outlines a collaborative project between New Jersey Future, the Village of Ridgewood, and Age Friendly Ridgewood to create an aging-friendly community in Ridgewood. It was funded by the Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. The project aims to improve pedestrian safety and mobility, expand housing diversity and affordability, and create a more vibrant downtown area. Main goals include engaging residents, improving intersections for pedestrians, exploring housing options for older residents, improving street furniture and lighting at bus stops, and implementing a phased plan for sidewalk and crosswalk improvements.
This document discusses smart growth and form-based code approaches to community planning. Smart growth encourages compact, walkable development with a mix of uses, housing types, and transportation options. Form-based code regulates physical form to achieve a specific urban context. It uses standards for streets, blocks, and building heights/types to create predictable, vibrant neighborhoods. Both approaches aim to integrate development, reduce sprawl, foster livability and sustainability for people of all ages.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Isaac D. Kremer, Executive Director of the Metuchen Downtown Alliance, about creating an age-friendly community through tactical urbanism projects. Some key points:
- Since 2009, $100 million has been invested in Metuchen through redevelopment projects focused on arts/culture, food, greenery, public spaces, streets, and storefront improvements.
- Examples of tactical urbanism projects that enhanced public spaces and the pedestrian experience include a sidewalk piano, guerrilla art installations, parklets, bike share programs, and street furniture.
- Storefront improvement consulting and small grants helped fund 30 facade renovations, increasing property values and attracting new businesses.
AARP works to promote livable communities for people of all ages. They define a livable community as having affordable housing, community services, and transportation options to facilitate independence. As America ages, more older adults want to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible. AARP advocates for walkable neighborhoods with a variety of housing, transportation, healthcare and other services to support aging in place. Their initiatives like community challenge grants and age-friendly networks help communities become more livable for residents of all generations.
Cars were tearing along streets in Detroit at high speeds of up to 20 miles per hour in the summer of 1917, dodging pedestrians and horse teams, resulting in 31 people being killed in car crashes within two months and many injuries that were not recorded.
The document discusses some of the challenges involved in managing redevelopment plans (RDPs) in Jersey City, New Jersey. It notes that Jersey City has 87 RDP areas adopted since 1952 to redevelop and revitalize parts of the city. However, RDPs can become outdated and fail to account for changes in surrounding contexts. Other challenges include reconciling density standards between plans, amending plans, and ensuring plans support current trends in mixed-use and transit-oriented development. Redeveloping areas with expired or obsolete plans also poses difficulties.
This document discusses the adaptive reuse of old buildings by giving them new lives. It highlights how preserving historic buildings can revitalize neighborhoods while providing environmental benefits over new construction. The presentation provides several case studies of old buildings from the early 20th century that have been adaptively reused as hotels, apartments, and office spaces. It argues that adaptively reusing existing structures is more sustainable than demolishing them to build anew.
The document summarizes New Jersey's Land Bank Law, which allows municipalities to establish land bank entities to address vacant and abandoned properties. It describes the legal precedents that led to the law, including two cases where the courts found that land banking was not a valid public purpose for eminent domain. The summary explains the basics of how land banks can be established and operated under the new law, including their powers, procedures for acquisition and disposition of properties, requirements for public databases and community involvement, and the constitutional questions surrounding the use of eminent domain for land banking.
This document discusses the work of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Brownfield and Community Revitalization to promote revitalization in communities like Perth Amboy. It highlights how the office works with communities beyond traditional regulatory programs to support redevelopment opportunities. The office helped redevelop an abandoned steel plant in Perth Amboy into a new public park through partnerships that addressed environmental issues and community priorities.
This document discusses opportunity zones and the tax incentives provided under the Opportunity Zone program. It provides an overview of what opportunity zones are, where they are located, and the key tax benefits for investors including deferral of capital gains taxes, partial exclusions of capital gains, and the ability to exclude capital gains accrued on opportunity zone investments held for over 10 years. It also discusses eligible opportunity zone investments, the structure of opportunity funds, and some examples of recent deals.

1. Getting Started with Downtown Revitalization
New Jersey Future Redevelopment Forum
New Brunswick, NJ
New Jersey Future
Peter Kasabach

March 13, 2015
2. Downtowns are mixed-use, walkable places
Balanced: Day and night uses and different activities
Compact: Uses are close together
Connected: Lots of ways for people to get around
Diverse: Opportunities for a wide range of people
Attractive: High quality design and materials
3. Demand for Compact, Walkable Places is Increasing
From Transit Center’s “Who’s on Board 2014” survey
4. Millennials are Driving Demand
Millennials consistently report greater attraction to
less driving-intensive lifestyles – urban living,
residence in “walkable” communities, and openness
to the use of non-driving modes of transport – than
older generations.
Young people aged 20 to 30 are less likely to
move from central cities to suburbs than a
decade ago.
Over the last decade – after 60-plus years of steady increases – the
number of miles driven by the average American has
been falling. Young Americans have experienced the greatest
changes: driving less; taking transit, biking and walking more; and
seeking out places to live in cities and walkable communities where
driving is an option, not a necessity
From U.S. PIRG’s “Millennials in Motion” report, October 2014
5. Built-Out is a
misnomer
From 3.6% of total
statewide population
growth to 54.5%
259 municipalities
with downtown
centers
New Jersey Can Meet this Demand
6. Meeting Demand through Revitalization
Lots of room for winners
Downtown revitalization survey of New Jersey
municipalities
• 1 in 4 municipalities responded.
• 82% said municipal government
has responsibility for revitalization.
• Fewer than half (44%) have a
designated point person to focus
on revitalization.
7. Important vs. Effective
Significant mismatch between what respondents say is
important to them and how effective they are at that:
Filling vacant storefronts:
Importance: 4.5 out of 5; effectiveness: 2.9 out of 5
Improving the mix of retail:
Importance: 4.4 out of 5; effectiveness: 3.0 out of 5
Retaining stores and restaurants:
Importance: 4.4 out of 5; effectiveness: 3.3 out of 5
8. Reactive vs. Proactive
Better at reacting to inquiries and following rules and
process, rather than creating and implementing a vision.
Responding to developer inquires: 3.7 out of 5
Pro-actively marketing to developers: 3.0 out of 5
Virtually all respondents were on track for master plan updates, but not clear
if any were making adjustments to make revitalization easier.
9. Being Effective and Garnering Resources
Respondents indicated they don’t know how to be proactive in
their revitalization efforts, how to identify strategies that will yield
the greatest benefit or how to access tools and resources:
Proactive revitalization efforts:
Importance: 4.4 out of 5; effectiveness: 3.6 out of 5
Less than one-third of respondents used procedural incentives (28%) or
financial incentives (32%) for downtown revitalization
Only 39% of respondents indicated they had applied for grant funding for
revitalization projects
Only 20% had created a marketing plan and even fewer were
implementing a marketing plan.
10. What’s Important
Final note - 40% stated business conditions were weak/sluggish or declining/deteriorating.
Demographic changes are the opportunity, and strategic downtown revitalization is the answer.
