What information will be used? How will decisions be made?
The private land developers will provide some of the most important information used by the planning team. Since many large projects are already well along in their respective planning stages, much of the planners job will be to integrate the individual projects into a quality overall civic design. Thus, the focus will be on such decisions as the arrangement of buildings with respect to streets and each other, the placement of civic buildings, and the creation of significant public spaces. You will see the planning team members and the developers in working conversations about the buildings and streets, design and construction, financing and revenues.
