How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community Visioning for Place-Based Revitalizationmethodology: community_visioningBy engaging communities in participatory visioning and localized downtown revitalization, we drive economic and environmental improvements because inclusive planning processes generate locally rooted, culturally relevant solutions that reflect community priorities.
- Smart Growth Developmentmethodology: smart_growthBy prioritizing infill development, redevelopment, and mixed-use, mixed-income communities, we create more sustainable and equitable neighborhoods because this approach reduces sprawl, increases housing accessibility, and preserves open space.
