Planning study, Brunswick, Georgia
The project I was working on was featured in this story, "Brunswick gets tips on jazzing up downtown," in the Georgia edition of the Florida Times-Union. The report isn't yet in a pdf version for those of you who want to read it. (Soon.)
People on Newcastle Street, Brunswick Georgia.
It was an interesting experience. The report pulls together much of what I've learned on commercial district revitalization, cultural heritage communication, tourism and destination development, urban design, and wayfinding. Even then, seeing the roughly final product, I see how it can be reorganized because the logical progression of the report's structure runs into perceptions and so it becomes easier to reorganize the report, rather than try to change how people approach revitalization.
The study also included a section on a retail development strategy for a new development about 1.5 miles from Downtown, called Liberty Harbor, which is located at the foot of the Sidney Lanier Bridge. They put out a press release on Business Wire, "Synergy Between Historic Downtown Brunswick, GA and Luxury Waterfront Development Liberty Harbor Can Help Both Thrive:
Study Points to New Transportation Links, Complementary Attractions and Retail to Benefit Both Destinations."
