Course Details
St. Louis County utilized a data-driven scenario planning process to evaluate how local community policies build and reinforce a larger, countywide process for growth. Learn how various ideas from community members and stakeholders were integrated into the scenarios and translated into inputs such as population and economic growth trends, land use patterns, mobility networks, climate and environment initiatives, economic incentives, and policy frameworks. Most importantly, understand how evaluating all these scenarios and policies led to strategies and recommendations to create a holistic foundation of equitable and sustainable development countywide.
