William E. Borah

Land use planning in New Orleans has traditionally been described as “planning by surprise.” Citizens and neighborhood organizations have attempted to change the city’s planning processes for years, but have had limited success. Inspiration for change came from one of the country’s most significant natural disasters, Hurricane Katrina. The damage from the hurricane and its aftermath was the necessary catalyst to motivate the city’s citizens. On November 4, 2008, voters approved the Home Rule Charter Amendments, which require the city to prepare a master plan with the force of law.

One of the major forces advocating for this change was William E. Borah, a New Orleans-based land use attorney and member of Smart Growth for Louisiana. Borah drafted the initial proposed charter amendment, sought comment from planning experts around the country, and organized a support campaign. Colleagues from around the country attribute the passage of the amendment to Borah’s unwavering persistence.

Campus Partners’ University District Revitalization
Columbus, Ohio

Campus Partners is a university-led partnership that has succeeded in revitalizing the economically and racially diverse district around Ohio State University. OSU formed Campus Partners in 1995 with an independent mission and board responsible to stakeholders beyond its university to address physical, social, and environmental issues facing an entire urban district with a population of 40,000.

The “smart growth” agenda — aimed at reviving the district’s neighborhoods as places of choice — has three core goals: pursuit of a fully inclusive planning process involving the city, residents, and community groups; introduction of new amenities and housing to attract the university community back to the district; and promotion of social equity by improving quality of life and economic opportunity for all residents. Campus Partners has leveraged more than $150 million in investment in district neighborhoods, including renovation and development of roughly 1,000 housing units of Section 8, affordable, and market-rate housing; redevelopment of a large brownfield site; a new police station; new public elementary school; and OSU’s new early-childhood learning center.
