Creating Visual Models for Community Development

Instructional Designer: Heidi Trotta

Faculty Member: Matt Hale

Course: PSMA 7122NA - Strategic Management for Collaboarative Governance

Spring, 2008

Project Abstract:

Everyday, in cities across America, there is an on going battle between different constituencies over land use. Businesses see a vacant lot as an opportunity to build a factory, citizens may want a park, and a nonprofit group might prefer a community center.

Using a case-based scenario, each student was assigned to a team that represents one of the following "agents for change"; a nonprofit community organization, a real estate developer and a government agency. Each team was responsible for:

(1) Designing an approach for developing a vacant parcel of land that meets their organization's stated objectives and goals

(2) Preparing a detailed development plan for the property and why thier plan should be chosen by the special magistrate. A visual representation of the proposed plan should be made using Google Sketch-Up.

(3) Presenting their plan and proposal to the special megistrate at a hearing.
