City Centers in Transition
The conference focused on the nerve center of the central city--the central business district or city center. Major objectives were to provide public agencies, practitioners, and the scholarly community with an improved basis for (1) identifying the critical processes and decisions that are transforming city centers; and (2) isolating key research needs and identifying their significance for public policy. The conference affirmed the belief that city centers serve important functions and will remain as vital parts of our urban areas. The problems of city centers have physical, fiscal, and social dimensions that are too difficult for government or business to solve alone. A balanced partnership between the public and private sectors can increase total effectiveness. A balanced research agenda must be developed to (1) identify emerging phenomena that affect and result from characteristics of the built environment; (2) measure their impacts on city center functions, residents, and users; and (3) devise and prescribe policy and program packages which address the needs of diverse city centers in all parts of the nation.
