Report 2 Translating a Regional Vision into Action

Author: Suzanne D. Cartwright with Victoria R. Wilbur

At the ULI policy forum held on March 8, 2005, participants examined several case studies and distilled the lessons learned into ten broad principles for visioning implementation success. Specific recommendations were then developed in five topic areas: funding; leadership; tools and technical assistance; communications and media; and documentation and dissemination of best practices. While these recommendations are not exhaustive, they do represent the latest thinking of the experts assembled at the forum and offer a variety of new ideas for visioning implementation practitioners.
