Community planning: Scenarios
Town centre upgrade
- description
- scenario timeline
Many town centre areas have developed in a piecemeal fashion over a number of years. Land will be in a variety of ownerships. Buildings are likely to have been designed with little respect for overall urban design.
If the planning department does nothing, the piecemeal approach will continue and fundamental issues will never be solved.
The approach shown here allows a planning authority to involve all the many different interests in developing an overall strategy which can be incorporated into the planning framework.

A planning department initiates development of part of the town centre without the conflict between developers and citizens so common in much town centre development.
