Principles for Partnering with Communities

TARGETED DEVELOPMENT: THE SECOND RING CONCEPT
BUSINESS DISTRICT STABILIZATION & REDEVELOPMENT
NEW HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
NEW INVESTMENT THEMES
The Office of University Architect, implementing these ten powerful principles in partnership with residents,
businesses, institutions and the development community, is leading regions urban revitalization efforts in
Cincinnati’s UpTOWN area. These principles are meeting the unique challenges and opportunities urban
communities have to offer - through purposeful partnerships.
principles
Contextual: respect a neighborhood’s fabric.
Mutual Benefits: community & institutional goals must have standing and be pursued continuously.
Local Representation: partnerships through neighborhood entities not individuals.
Local Control: neighborhoods must have voting control of development entities.
New Partnerships vs. Ownership: expansion through, contact, lease or joint ventures versus
direct ownership or operations of facilities.
Recycle Resources: connecting assets with opportunities regardless of location to present campus.
Financial Capacity for Competitiveness: provide an initial operating grant and
“patient loan capital”.
Community Building: increase the number of employees living near by via Employees Assisted
Housing program.
Intentional Relationships: initiate a relationship with the City early & keep it open.
Realistic Outcomes: requests to City should be realistic & focused on policy support.
Whether across the street or around a region, these tools for partnerships can help build diverse,
mixed-income neighborhoods – strong, stable, and welcoming to all.
