Challenges with Public Engagement in City Planning

The City of Minneapolis faced challenges in effectively engaging residents with its comprehensive plan. Traditionally, these plans were released as static documents, limiting opportunities for community input and hindering transparency in the city's planning process. There was a need for a more interactive and accessible platform to foster dialogue and collaboration.

About the Client

A municipal government dedicated to providing services and planning for the growth and development of the city.

Project Goals

  • Develop a user-friendly, interactive website for the City of Minneapolis' 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
  • Enhance community engagement and feedback on the comprehensive plan.
  • Improve transparency in the city's planning process.
  • Ensure accessibility for all residents, regardless of ability.
  • Provide a scalable and manageable platform for future updates and revisions to the plan.

System Functionality

  • Interactive Feedback System (commenting on plan sections)
  • Mobile-Responsive Design
  • Accessibility Compliance (WCAG 2.0, ADA)
  • Content Management System (Umbraco)
  • Interactive Maps with Color-Coding and Pop-up Descriptions
  • Interactive Charts visualizing community research and plan impact

Technology Stack

Umbraco CMS
ASP.NET (for Umbraco)
Responsive Design Framework (e.g., Bootstrap)

Non-Functional Requirements

  • Accessibility (WCAG 2.0, ADA compliance)
  • Performance (fast loading times)
  • Scalability (ability to handle increased traffic and content)
  • Security (protecting user data and preventing unauthorized access)

Expected Business Impact

The project is expected to significantly improve community engagement in city planning, leading to more informed and inclusive decision-making. The interactive website will enhance transparency, foster dialogue between the city and residents, and ultimately result in a more robust and responsive comprehensive plan. The ease of use and accessibility will ensure all Minneapolis residents can participate, leading to a more equitable and representative planning process.
