    Formulating a Framework to Plan for Complete Communities in Delaware
    (2013-04-01) Scott, Marcia; Patterson, Theodore; Nau, Natasha
    To address the need for local governments to plan more prosperous and livable communities, a new integrated approach to transportation planning, land use planning, and community design—called Complete Communities—is gaining momentum at the state and local government levels. In January 2012, the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA) initiated a project titled Formulating a Framework to Plan for Complete Communities in Delaware, which was funded by the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) and conducted in collaboration with the Delaware Office of State Planning and Coordination (OSPC).This phase of IPA’s Complete Communities project included a focused literature review of Delaware planning initiatives and national best practices, work with two pilot communities in Delaware, and the development of a comprehensive outreach strategy—including launch of a Planning for Complete Communities website (see completecommunitiesde.org).

    (2012-12-20) Scott, Marcia; Nau, Natasha; Anderson, Christopher
    In January 2012, the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration (IPA) initiated a project titled Formulating a Framework to Plan for Complete Communities in Delaware, which was funded by DelDOT and conducted in collaboration with OSPC. To determine how complete communities may be achieved in Delaware, two pilot communities were selected—one of which was the City of Milford. Milford stakeholders were identified, selected, and invited to attend three facilitated workshops. This Summary Report to the City of Milford provides a synopsis of Milford Complete Communities workshop outcomes, provides an in-depth exploration of topics identified by stakeholders, and suggests a path forward for City of Milford officials.

    Planning for Complete Communities in Delaware: Summary Report to the Town of Elsmere
    (2013-01-23) Patterson, Theodore; Nau, Natasha; Anderson, Christopher
    The University of Delaware conducted community-planning projects in two selected towns in Delaware starting in spring 2012 and culminating in November 2012 at the Complete Communities Delaware 2012 Summit. The Town of Elsmere was one of the two towns selected for this project and the focus of this report. The purpose for the community-planning projects was to engage town stakeholders in considering how to make their communities “more complete.” Five key topic areas were identified as aspects of a complete community: 1) complete streets, 2) efficient land use, 3) healthy and livable, 4) inclusive and active, and 5) sustainable.
