The Plan Nobody Can Coordinate
Whose model is right when planning, utilities and engineering all have one?
A downtown growth district triggers utility upgrades, street redesign, stormwater capacity and three private developments — coordinated today through PDFs, email and a monthly interdepartmental meeting.

The moderator introduces the city, the asset, the existing data, the constraints, the budget and the coordination decision that has to be made this year.
- 0:1015 min
