Reflect changing lifestyles in the urban design (Wow in daily life):<br />
Cities and downtowns are being utilized today in ways much different from their traditional<br />
roles. Those predisposed to living and working downtown – a growing demographic – are<br />
less interested in housing types, retailing, food, entertainment, etc. that were the norm even<br />
a decade ago. The rise of social media, food trucks, locavore eateries, smaller and more<br />
innovative housing units, access to bike and pedestrian trails, outdoor entertainment and<br />
fitness opportunities, all impact how downtowns are developed and the atmosphere they<br />
provide. Our process is designed to engage these populations in means of communication<br />
with which they are most comfortable, in order to insure that the plan developed<br />
accommodates these new trends and anticipates those that are likely to grow stronger in the<br />
future. Our communication plan will include social media and will help us identify quality of life<br />
goals that provide some Wow.
