Planning for Inner-City Retail Development: The Case of Indianapolis
This article examines the planning process used by Indianapolis city planners in 1998–1999 to devise public policies to facilitate inner-city retail competitiveness. The Indianapolis initiative was underpinned by Michael Porter's ideas about inner-city economic development. Porter's industrial competitiveness strategy was adapted to retail economic development in Indianapolis, using a generally inclusionary participation approach. Indianapolis planners generated some useful findings from studies that demonstrated that a latent demand for retail goods remained unfulfilled in the inner city. The information from these analyses was disseminated within the community via an advisory committee and a citywide retail planning conference. The Indianapolis initiative was praiseworthy for its topic and effort. With the benefit of hindsight, however, it is possible to identify areas in which the initiative might have been improved. These include components of the process itself, the limited objectives used to structure the process, the timing of the process, the narrow conception of retail development, and, related to this, the absence of attention given to Porter's recommendation that a region's competitive industry clusters be used to anchor redevelopment efforts.
