On Wednesday, December 16th the Advanced Planning Studio presented their research and recommendations, regarding Albuquerque's International District, to the Southeast Heights Health Coalition (the Studio's client), members of the International District community, professors, faculty and students. What was presented was a scaled-down version of what will be provided to the client in the Studio's final document.
The recommendations have been developed to help guide the International District through the sector planning process scheduled to start in 2010. Studio work addressed feedback gathered through a community visioning meeting, a series of focus groups, surveys conducted within the District, and interviews. The final recommendation topics include housing, land use, transportation, community and economic development, and the EXPO New Mexico site. Proposals in the document have been broken down in to policy recommendations and general actions that individual community members and/or community groups can implement.
The presentation wrapped up with a lively question and answer session that addressed housing weatherization, water retention and diversion on the EXPO site, gentrification and form-based codes.
