Sound Strategies for Sustainable Communities

 Urban Revitalization

Urban revitalization efforts seek to enhance the quality of life in urban places and enhance their appeal to a diversity of residents and employers. Such initiatives typically engage residents and local government in planning for and managing neighborhood growth and change, which may include designing pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented commercial districts, providing new homeownership opportunities for a range of income groups, exploring the possibilities of public/private partnerships, and leveraging the impact of arts and cultural institutions to create an attractive urban environment. 

Our urban revitalization work features articles, reports, and other publications that highlight opportunities for neighborhood renewal as well as showcase successful community revitalization efforts.
