ALP 2408- URBAN PLANNING I ASSIGNMENT

Neighborhood Livability/Sustainability Proposal

The purpose of this assignment is to develop a proposal for improving the livability And Sustainability of your neighborhood while ensuring that your neighborhood becomes an important contributor to the livability and sustainability of the entire city.

Your proposal can be for something that is taking place currently, takes place in the near term or far future. It can be a change in policy, the physical characteristics of the neighborhood, or in the way that the services and systems serving the neighborhood residents are operated and deployed, your choice. Your proposal must, at a minimum, address the following questions:

1. What is the “neighborhood” you’re focusing on?

2. What are you proposing to change?

3. Why is this change important to improving livability and sustainability for all residents?

4. How will the change make your city more livable and sustainable? Why?

5. What will be required to make this change? Over what period of time?

6. Who pays and who benefits?

7. Is the allocation of costs and benefits fair and

equitable? Why?

8. To make this change, who will need to do what?

9. What will it take to get this proposal adopted and implemented?

10. What is your favorite aspect of this proposal? Why?

The best response will draw on the themes for this course, the reading, and the presentations made in class. It will be derived from a careful application of the 7-step planning process.

It will also be connected to actual conditions and populations in your neighborhood, and to the organizations and interests already present there.

Finally, the best proposals will make important contributions to livability and sustainability, and those contributions will be able to be assessed and verified over time.

Please limit your written assignment to 10 pages. Make sure that you provide maps/photos, tables, and other relevant illustrations needed to fully communicate what you intend to do. The best papers will tell a complete story, one introducing the reader to the context, relevance, importance, and likely impact of the proposal you’re making, and will present a careful strategy for making it happen. Put what you’ve learned in this class to work and have fun with this!

Tell the city where you’re borrowing your ideas from.

Preferably development of a neighborhood in Kenya(East Africa) that has development issues.
