The course content covers three broad areas:
- an overview of the causes for urban business district decline, the challenges faced in revitalization and the type of revitalization strategies employed;
- the physical and economic development planning tools used to understand and assess urban Main Streets from physical design and economic development perspectives; and
- the policies, interventions, and investments used to foster urban commercial revitalization.
The course has dual goals: to explore the integration of economic and physical development interventions in ways that reinforce commercial district revitalization efforts, and to apply this knowledge through the development of a formal neighborhood commercial revitalization plan for a client business district.
