2013 DCT Research Showcase Abstract
Planning for Complete Communities in Delaware: Phase II
IPA is initiating development of an online Delaware Complete Communities Planning
Toolbox to build local government capacity to develop complete communities planning
approaches, implementation tools, and community engagement strategies. This online
toolbox will advance a complete communities policy framework that will help
communities plan for and manage growth, consider benefits of better community
design, spur reinvestment in older communities, protect natural and environmental
resources, understand the connection between land use and transportation planning,
promote placemaking as an economic development strategy, combat sprawl, and make
more efficient use of limited funds for growth-related needs. In addition, IPA is holding
a series of workshops on state and local government regulatory barriers to Complete
Communities in Delaware.
