Opportunities for SiteSeeing
Communities evolve. Such change can be gradual, for example when predominant homeownership matures from families with young children to empty nesters. But change can also be abrupt: severe weather may destroy infrastructure, architecture and prevailing landscaping; or, sadly, large economic forces like the current nationwide foreclosure crisis can threaten the vitality of a neighborhood.
SiteSeeing: Community Development (CD) helps a community step back, reevaluate the neighborhood and situation, and create a strategic community redevelopment guideplan for the future.
SiteSeeing CD works when a community is:
- Threatened by substantial home foreclosures.
- Receiving a proposal from developers.
- Ready to reassess issues of livability.
- Being considered for transportation routes.
- Recovering from a severe weather event.
- Making an application for historical status.
- Anticipating or in a period of transition.
Community-driven Development
Historically, cities were responsible for designing and developing the neighborhoods in which we live, work and play. Some did so with careful thought and substantial investment; others did so ad hoc in response to the most urgent need and with available resources.
Today, there is the opportunity for community-driven development. SiteSeeing CD gives residents, community leaders, local business associations, and other neighborhood stakeholders a place at the planning table equal to that of the city and the developer. The result? A long-term development strategy that integrates a real-life vision for livability with goals for profitability.
