DESCRIPTION
Equitable Development: TOD in a Distressed Economy AICP CM 1.5 Equitable development starts with a commitment to robust community engagement, continues with strategic public investments to "prime the pump," and ends with development that meets community needs and allows investors to make a buck or two. Learn how public and private partners can work together to lay the groundwork to finance and deliver TOD in the face of a distressed local development market. In Minneapolis: A community along a future BRT corridor plans for future investments in transportation, economic development, housing and placemaking. In Pittsburgh: A diverse community adjacent to a busway station attracts public and private investments for a successful project. In Phoenix, nonprofits working together to ready publicly-owned property for development and create a loan program to bring affordable and market rate residential mixed use to the light rail.

Urban Renewal—End Results:While the project was founded on good intentions, ultimately it did little
more than to…
facilitate traffic around, not through the neighborhood,
create roughly 1,000 units of poorly-managed very low income housing in the commercial district,
create huge pedestrian disconnects (highway, parking fields…)from stable surrounding neighborhoods,
leave the city, or one of its authorities, owning large tracts of land off the main street (the parking fields).
