Practicing neighborhood planning with Longfellow : the process for developing a neighborhood plan for the Longfellow Neighborhood in Iowa City, Iowa

The purpose of this project has been to develop a neighborhood plan for the Longfellow Neighborhood in Iowa City, Iowa using the "bottoms up" approach. Once adopted and incorporated in the City's Comprehensive Plan, it will be the first neighborhood plan in Iowa City. My official role was to serve as one of the members of the City staff. This creative project is a documentation of the process involved in preparing the plan, and a reflection as to lessons learned from it both for Iowa City and for neighborhood planning generally. The preliminary plan draft was developed based upon goals, objectives, and an implementation strategy created and endorsed by the residents. A second draft was written in accordance with the residents' responses to the original content. Pending neighborhood approval and adoption of the draft, the final document will be developed and voted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The project, to date, has proven to be a successful endeavor that will serve as a precedent for other neighborhoods in Iowa City wishing to pursue the creation of their own neighborhood plans. / Department of Urban Planning
