CityWorks is a unique blend of urban planning and community involvement services.
Projects
CityWorks believes that successful planning projects blend the technical and design expertise of planning professionals with the knowledge and future aspirations of a community’s stakeholders. The CityWorks multi-disciplinary team of planners, architects, and community involvement, press and media, and graphic design professionals provide this needed blend of services to its clients and their communities.
Services and Phasing Methodology
The CityWorks multi-disciplinary team provides five core services: urban and transportation planning, community involvement, publicity and noticing, capacity building, and project management. These services are organized into 5 phases: preliminary analysis, community-based vision, community-based plan, approvals, and implementation. Throughout plan development, this structure provides a transparent and consistent process for clients and community stakeholders to know and trust.
Urban and Transportation Planning Methodology
Planning projects are successful when the public is informed and involved throughout the planning and construction phases. That's why the CityWorks team works collaboratively with public agencies, development teams and community stakeholders from conception to implementation of planning projects. Together, we create a vision for the future, and develop policy and planning documents that achieve that vision.
CityWorks’ planning methodology starts with identifying the opportunities and challenges particular to a project area and defining the characteristics that make it unique. Besides researching existing documents governing an area, walking an area to understand it and conducting technical studies, CityWorks identifies area stakeholders and works directly with them to identify their concerns, their ideas for future improvement, and their preferences for how they would like to be involved. This approach yields effective community involvement strategies and plan designs that are specific to a community's needs and economic realities.
At the beginning of a project, CityWorks gathers and organizes information about the existing physical condition of a project area and its stakeholders with its copyrighted methodology “The 9 Elements of a Successful District.” This methodology describes, in easy to understand terms, elements that are common to all successful districts such as community character, open space and a mixture of uses and transportation modes. How each planning effort addresses those elements is unique to the place and its stakeholders. This methodology is also used to organize other phases of plan development by integrating the “9 Elements” into presentations, design concepts, planning documents, implementation plans and developer RFQs.
This stakeholder-focused approach to urban and transportation planning results in communities successfully creating a shared vision for the future of their community and supports a smooth transition from planning into implementation.
