This document summarizes the Downtown East redevelopment project in Minneapolis led by Ryan Companies US, Inc. Key points include: - The project redeveloped a formerly low-density area east of downtown Minneapolis near the new Vikings stadium into a mixed-use development with offices, apartments, parking ramps, and a new urban park. - It has included over $400 million in private investment so far and will create an estimated 5,000-6,000 new jobs in downtown Minneapolis. - The project faced challenges in coordinating with multiple stakeholders and establishing a funding plan without using tax-increment financing. However, private and public partnerships were able to finance public components like parking ramps and a new park.

Eds and Meds: Leveraging Anchor Institutions to Create Community AICP CM 1.5 Educational institutions and medical facilities are engaging in regional transformation. Traditionally, these organizations have been rather inward looking, examining growth through the prism of available real estate. That approach is changing, with new collaborative relationships geared towards potential growth in the organizations and the region. Already dominant employers in their regions, these organizations are anchored to and invested in their surrounding neighborhoods. Learn how the meds and eds are stretching outside their comfort zones to transform their neighborhoods through collaboration. Hear how they are engaged in planning high-quality, direct and attractive public transit services to connect institutions, job centers and adjacent neighborhoods. Finally, see how recent collaborations spanned sectors -- what strategies worked and what didn’t.

Lunch + Learn: Equity + Tool Boxes AICP CM 1.5 Sharing massive amounts of information. That's what the Information Station does. The Boston-based Metropolitan Area Planning Council and the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University created two station area planning tools: a station area typology to characterize the conditions and opportunities for TOD; and a rating system to measure the capacity for equitable TOD within a transit station area. Realizing the value of the demographic, land use, transportation and economic data collected for 300+ rapid transit, commuter rail, ferry and key bus route stations, the two organizations made the underlying data available through a user-friendly web portal funded from a HUD Sustainable Communities grant. Lunch and learn how the data's being put to use. Stephanie Pollack, Associate Director, Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy, Boston, Massachusetts
