Forest Preserve District of Cook County 5-year Capital Improvement Plancookcountyblog
The document is the Forest Preserve District of Cook County's 2012-2016 Capital Improvement Plan. It outlines $42 million in capital projects for 2012, with a total of $100 million planned for 2012-2016. The largest areas of investment are habitat restoration at $5.7 million and new trail systems at $8.9 million. Several projects have been deferred from 2011 to allow for comprehensive planning studies in 2012 to better inform future decisions. An increase in general consulting services funding to $2.7 million is requested to support this planning. The plan was developed through input from various stakeholders and evaluates projects based on guidance principles like public access, environmental sustainability, and partnerships.

Proposal to transform the abandoned Earth Centre in Doncaster into a national science, technology and engineering park promoting sustainability through enterprise, employment and education
This document provides an overview of the Highlands' Garden Village development project in Denver, Colorado. It describes the project's implementation of New Urbanism principles through high-density, mixed-use development on a former amusement park site. Key aspects summarized include the variety of housing types (single-family, townhomes, senior housing, etc.); emphasis on public realm and green spaces; pursuit of LEED certification for buildings; and environmentally-friendly features like renewable energy use, native landscaping, and compact development to reduce energy consumption. The project redeveloped a historic 27-acre site using smart growth principles.

This document discusses several case studies from the CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) that resulted in outcomes. It focuses on a case study in Peru around the development of benefit sharing mechanisms for water resources in the Cañete River watershed. Over 8-10 years, CPWF Phase 1 and 2 research contributed to changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding water valuation, payment targeting, and legal reforms that enabled the drafting of national ecosystem services legislation in Peru. The document also briefly mentions case studies on slash and mulch agriculture in Central America, urban wastewater use in West Africa, and a precursor project in Zimbabwe that addressed challenges in goat farming through innovations like organized auctions.
The document summarizes San Antonio's bike share program called B-Cycle. It discusses how San Antonio had low rates of biking and pedestrian infrastructure compared to other major US cities.

It proposes using risk assessment and management strategies to establish customized soil and groundwater standards to encourage redevelopment. These tiered standards may allow less stringent cleanup levels if certain risk management measures like caps and barriers are used. The document also examines implications of the proposed approaches like changes to building forms to accommodate underground parking where contamination remains in soils.

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
In the 1960’s the Federal Government encouraged land drainage and wetland destruction
In 1970's, increasing awareness that wetlands are valuable areas that provide important environmental functions.
In 1970, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was implemented to govern environment protection standards
In 1972, The Clean Water Act was established to ADDRESS Water quality standards of:
WATER POLLUTION
Eliminating discharge of untreated wastewater
Section 404 of CWA
Requires a permit before impacts are made to a waterbody, including wetlands.
AVOID AND MINIMIZE THE IMPACT
& PROVIDE COMPENSATORY MITIGATION FOR UNAVOIDABLE IMPACTS Federal effort to restore wetlands.

It lists various monthly activities, training programs, houses, teams, and partnerships CRI has with other organizations, businesses, schools, and individuals to create a system of caring in the community.
The CRI Opportunities Fund Strategy outlines a plan to reduce poverty in Shawnee, Oklahoma over time through local investment and outside funding. It projects that with high initial seed investment and 50% matching funds, they could operate with 15 paid staff and over 1,000 volunteers by year 5, establish 8 friendship houses, and engage 12,000 people through a "We Care" team. The strategy focuses on accelerating a shift to more local investing to influence positive change in the community.
This document outlines the organization and components of the City of Bastrop's zoning development code. It establishes four context areas - suburban, urban, center, and special - that set standards for appropriate development. Zoning districts are then applied within each context area to further refine development patterns. Building types are also defined that explain how buildings relate to lots, streets, and the public realm. The zoning map officially designates the context areas and zoning districts for the city.
This inaugural Community Renewal International Think Tank brought together leaders in transformative work related to the eight elements of CRI's community model. Over two intense days, participants shared their work, identified connections between efforts, and explored partnerships. They also began outlining design principles to shape environments supporting CRI's work in building caring relationships. Initial agreements were made to connect various initiatives and formalize collaboration between CRI, I-Open, and academic partners. The Think Tank proved an effective method for refining CRI's model and expanding its network of relationships.
Shreveport's Historic Music Village Comprehensive PlanKim Mitchell
This is a 2006 slide presentation of Shreveport's Historic Music Village Plan to the New Media Consortium national conference. The comprehensive plan for the historic area around Shreveport's Municipal Auditorium, Home of the Louisiana Hayride, was recognized by the Louisiana American Planning Association with their Best Plan Award.
This slide presentation was used to present the InterTech Technology Park plan to the Louisiana American Planning Association and to the Association of University Research Parks. The plan received the "Best Plan Award" from the Louisiana APA in 2002.
This presentation was made to the Shreveport City Council in 2007 at the conclusion of the planning process. The framework for the plan is based on the "village structure" eight elements that are part of the Community Renewal International theory of change.

Phase 1 & Phase 2 funding to date:
CRI has secured $2.6 million since 2004 in federal funding for the
Center for Community Renewal.
The EPA holds CRI in high regard as a brown to green project and
as a significant environmental justice program due to our training and
hiring of hurricane evacuees and local poor to clean the asbestos from
our building.
In addition, the EPA provided a $450,000 revolving loan through
the City of Shreveport to complete the abatement process.

52. As organizations have become more networked, older
strategic planning models do not work so well.
The reason: There is no top or bottom to a network.
53. Strategic Doing is a discipline to enable teams of people to
do complex projects in these open networks
54. Strategic Doing is simple, but not easy. It takes practice to
keep focused on four key questions...
What could
we do together?
How will we learn What should
together? we do together?
What will
we do together?
