What kind of design challenges do public officials generally bring for review?
All facets of city design are considered valid areas of study. Such issues include: attracting redevelopment and infill development, building mixed-use development, siting convention centers or stadiums, redeveloping brownfields and greyfields, including affordable housing in the development mix, offsetting the forces of gentrification, adopting urban design standards, building transit-oriented development, and maintaining mobility. There is no constraint on geographic size of the sites selected by the participating public officials.
