Creating a thriving downtown is about leveraging your assets. The greatest asset of a community is its people: residents, business owners, visitors, civic leaders,and other stakeholders. Strategic and meaningful engagement with them is vital to long-term sustainability of any planning and revitalization process. Today, planners are constantly challenged to find new and creative ways to engage the public. Planners from firm Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. in New York, NY, USA, for example, are using a diverse set of tools from traditional workshops and meetings, to walk audits and online tools, to high-quality visualizations and virtual reality scenarios, to support two complimentary planning studies, both of which advance the revitalization efforts of a downtown area in New York state. |
